Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Dashboard
Visualizing a decade of farm to school grant awards
Welcome to National Farm to School Network's Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program dashboard. This dashboard acts as a supplemental resource for our November 2024 report $100 Million for Farm to School: The Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant's National Reach since 2013. It visually summarizes the impact of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program, celebrating over a decade of implementation.
The Patrick Leahy Farm to School Grant Program is an annual competitive federal grant program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. The program assists grantees in the planning, development, and implementation of farm to school programs with the goal of connecting school-age children and adults to their food sources through nutrition education, school gardens, and local food procurement. Since 2013, the program has awarded $100 million for a total of 1,275 projects.

NFSN advocates to policymakers as the national voice of the farm to school movement. Since calling for the creation of a permanent program, nFSN has worked alongside supporters to expand and improve this program. These grants seed farm to school activities, enabling communities to launch new initiatives, strengthen existing partnerships, and cultivate sustainable food systems. Over time, these initial investments sprout into long-term benefits—building resilient local economies, fostering healthier eating habits in children, and nurturing a culture of local food support that continues to grow long after the grant period ends.
