Abstract: This paper explores the potential for the Georgia’s schools to participate in the Farm to School program. Primary and secondary data were used to establish a correlation between Farm to School, obesity, and food hardship. The results indicate that schools are more influenced by food hardship considerations than nutritional issues.
