AI Summary

This concurrent resolution designates February 12, 2025 as Farm to School and Child Awareness Day at the State House, highlighting the importance of the Rozo McLaughlin Farm-to-School Program in Vermont. The resolution notes that 89 percent of Vermont schools currently purchase locally produced food, and 56 percent of early childhood programs serve local food at least once a week, with over 100 farms selling produce to schools and early childhood programs. The background information emphasizes that school meals provide half of students' daily calories and that the program helps expose students to agricultural careers while supporting local farmers. The resolution also references existing state legislation that provides universal school meals and local food incentive grants. As part of the resolution, the Secretary of State is directed to send a copy of the resolution to the Vermont Farm to School & Early Childhood Network, recognizing the program's significance in connecting local agriculture with education and nutrition.
