Abstract:
Farm to school (FTS) activities have recently experienced rapid growth as more schools commit to
purchasing local foods, providing education about food, farming, health and the environment, and having
school gardens. We systematically review quantitative peer reviewed FTS research presenting both
outcome measures and reported FTS inputs. Our findings highlight ambiguity and variability in FTS
inputs making any resulting outcomes difficult to generalize for policy makers. We propose a pre-tested
intensity measurement tool which has the potential to standardize research in this area.
