Join ASPHN, National CACFP Association, National Farm to School Network, and Nemours Children’s Health for a virtual coffee chat exploring the connections between Farm to Early Care and Education (ECE) and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). This informal conversation will highlight how Farm to ECE strategies (i.e. serving local foods, gardening, and nutrition education—can support healthy eating patterns and early childhood development). Attendees will have the opportunity to learn key highlights from the DGA, share experiences, and discuss practical ways to align Farm to ECE efforts with nutrition recommendations in early care settings.
