Explore mutual benefits and how farm to school, processed products and scratch cooking can be used in school cafeterias. Is there a culinary instructor that wants to develop curriculum that would include school lunch programs? Does the culinary school want the student body to consider supporting school lunch programs as a working option post graduation?
