Our students benefit from being served fresh, local food at school. These same schools represent a significant new market opportunity for Virginia farmers and an asset in the success of our rural economy; and Whereas, in 2007, recognizing the problems associated with childhood obesity and the search to open additional markets for fresh farm products in Virginia, the Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry and the Secretary of Education established a Farm-to-School Task Force to develop a plan for implementing a Farm-to-School Program in the Commonwealth; and Whereas, since then, there has been a 300 percent increase in locally grown foods served in public and private schools. Virginia public schools serve 681,505 lunches daily to nourish their students, resulting in more than 122 million lunches served during a 180-day school year; and Whereas, if $0.25 a day per student lunch is devoted to purchasing locally grown Virginia farm products, a total of $170,376 would be generated daily and more than $30.7 million would be reinvested annually in Virginia communities and the economy; and Whereas, building connections between schools, students and agricultural producers throughout Virginia will provide better economic opportunity for agriculture, healthier options for our children and educational value for students in knowing where their food comes from; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors does hereby recognize November 8 through November 12, 2010, as Farm to School Week in Albemarle County and encourage all parents to join their children for lunch during this week. 5 ATTACHMENT 2 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL PROJECT: SP-2010-00016.
