CHAPTER 04: PRIORITY OUTCOMES, INDICATORS AND MEASURES47Offering samples of local products can be a great way for schools to introduce new vegetables and farm to school concepts.(Credit: Emily Hart Roth)With EducationIf students are eating fruits and vegetables, they havea greater likelihood of being and feeling healthy,which will affect their ability to concentrate andlearn. Eating school breakfast is linked with positiveoutcomes in academic achievement.With Environmental QualityWhen school meals have healthier (or higher quality)food options, it is expected that students will improvetheir nutritional intake, enjoy eating school food, andas a result reduce food waste from the cafeteria.Students who are healthy have higher attendanceat school, and thereby have more consistent mealparticipation rates. In turn, student participation inschool meal programs positively affects their ability tolearn in class.NATIONAL FARM TO SCHOOL NETWORK
