This interactive learning session hosted by NFSN will highlight how farm to school initiatives can cultivate youth engagement, leadership development, and meaningful career pathways in food, agriculture, and school nutrition. Participants will hear four on-the-ground examples from NFSN Partner schools and community organizations that are leveraging hydroponics, culinary education, afterschool programming, and agriculture-based learning to connect students with hands-on experiences, leadership opportunities, and future career exploration. Attendees will choose a breakout conversation aligned with their interests, engage directly with presenters and peers, exchange ideas and resources, and build connections with farm to school practitioners from across the country. Whether you are looking for practical strategies, innovative program models, or inspiration for engaging youth in your community, this session will aim to offer valuable insights and collaborative learning opportunities.
