Kristie Rauter presented on Wood County's experience implementing farm to school language in school wellness policies. She worked with superintendents, food service directors, school boards, and wellness committees across 6 school districts. This included developing procurement plans with food service directors, implementing projects utilizing funds, revising policies, and providing model language and evaluation tools. Some challenges included strong language being a tough sell and varying comfort levels with policy development. Overall it helped build relationships toward the goal of updating policies with stronger nutrition language.
