Limited access to healthy food undermines health and perpetuates systemic disparities across generations. Farm-to-school (FTS) programs have emerged as a strategy to address these inequities by connecting local farmers with school cafeterias to provide fresh, nutritious food. This paper examines Oregon’s FTS efforts through the Oregon Farm to School and School Garden Network (OFSSGN), analyzing whether these initiatives advance food justice and evaluating the programs implemented to achieve their goals. 000007691 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007691 650__ $$aGardening$$036934 000007691 650__ $$aFood$$019167 000007691 650__ $$aFood Supply$$019187 000007691 650__ $$aFood Quality$$040234 000007691 650__ $$aFamily Relations$$018882 000007691 650__ $$aFarmers$$011165 000007691 650__ $$aSocial Responsibility$$026116 000007691 650__ $$aSocioeconomic Factors$$026134 000007691 650__ $$aAccess to Healthy Foods$$013815 000007691 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000007691 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007691 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition$$041470 000007691 7001_ $$aFriscia, Bryn$$uMarylhurst University 000007691 7201_ $$aSpayde, Jessica$$uMarylhurst University$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000007691 8564_ $$956d48ad0-2895-445e-b59c-b0ef58a96d08$$s624603$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7691/files/Friscia.Bryn.2015.pdf$$ePublic$$264d80384fe356ed013d2db5c00ebe677$$31 000007691 905__ $$a/rest/prod/b5/64/4s/15/b5644s15x 000007691 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7691$$pstudent-work 000007691 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
