In 2008, Maryland passed the Jane Lawton Act, an unfunded program encouraging schools to serve Maryland produced food in schools. Similar federal policy exists. Like many other states, Maryland is seeking new markets, such as educational institutions, to enhance the viability of small and medium farms. However, school lunches are subject to numerous constraints, including regulatory and budget constraints. Distribution channels for local food sales are not well developed. Thus the success of local food usage in Maryland schools program is not certain. Using primary quantitative and qualitative data collected by the research team, this paper explores the feasibility of local food in Maryland schools. We identify scale and socioeconomic barriers to the use of local food in schools, suggesting that policy support would enhance the likelihood of long term success of serving local food in schools.Item Top Ten Findings Regarding Farm‐to‐School in Maryland(2010-09) Hanson, JamesItem Local Foods in Maryland Schools: Findings from Interviews with Stakeholders(2010-09) Richman, Nessa; Brust, Gerald; Hanson, James; Dimitri, Carolyn; Oberholtzer, Lydia; Gurley, JackItem The Use of Local Foods in Maryland Schools: Product Needs by Schools in Maryland Page(2010-09) Oberholtzer, LydiaItem The Use of Local Foods in Maryland Schools: Findings from a Survey of Food Service Directors(2010-09) Oberholtzer, LydiaItem Farm to School: Increasing Sales by Local Farmers for Healthier School Lunches and Higher Farm Income(2011) Hanson, James; Dimitri, Carolyn; Oberholtzer, Lydia; Richman, Nessa; Gurley, Jack; Brust, GeraldItem Assessing the Need for a Statewide Farmers’ Market Association in Maryland(2011) Adalja, Aaron; Hanson, James; Crone, Amy G.Item What is the most effective way to deliver life-saving anti-malarial bed nets in the developing world?(CANRP, 2011-11-22) Hoffmann, VivianDoes free distribution to vulnerable households do more harm than good, or is it a critical component of an overall strategy?
