Farm to Cafeteria 50x20 slideshow

The 50x20 slideshow was presented during the opening plenary of the conference. We invited submissions from every state to depict their Farm to Cafeteria successes with an image and a caption that could be summed up in 20 seconds. Of all the submissions, the National Farm to School Network chose one photo for each state to provide a snapshot of our national foothold, highlighting innovative Farm to Cafeteria projects around the country and in Canada.
