USDA Disrupts Jackson Food Program, Ending Farm-to-School Grant
The Farm to Community initiative has served nearly 400 students and 2,000 Jackson residents. But now, Trump’s USDA has canceled a grant that funds it.
The canceled farm-to-school grant would’ve "created a network of learning gardens and urban farm sites that can address food insecurity through local procurement and nutrition education for their students as well as their families and the broader community," said Mary Jo Wilson.
