NS Provincial Policy Response:




Food and Nutrition Policy for Nova Scotia Public Schools
   http://www.ednet.ns.ca/healthy_eating/pdf/school_food_consultation_draft.pdf
NS Provincial Policy Response:
Research Questions
• What are the barriers and opportunities which face Tatamagouche
elementary school in its efforts to procure greater amounts of
locally produced food?

• What resources (financial/infrastructural/human) are required for
the success of the Hancock County Farm-to-School program? What is
the role of the key stakeholders in facilitating the program?

• Does the Hancock County Farm-to-School program provide
insight for how to overcome the challenges faced in
Tatamagouche? If so, how?




       The negative comparative method attempts to find
       independent variables associated with divergent
       outcomes (Kolberg, 2005).
Primary Barriers

  • Budget Constraints

  • Structural Constraints

  • Lack of Knowledge and Communication

  • School Food Policy Context




              Community Assets

• Openness to Buying Local

• Interest in Third Party Involvement

• Connection Between Schools and Communities

• Proximity of Farms and Schools
“I have a farming background
                                                 anyway, so I’m biased...I think by
“...how does the farming                         having that connection [between
community in Tatamagouche                        farms and schools], it’s going to
link with the catering society                   give a greater sense of
and create that link and provide                 community... It’s always great to
[the school] with what [it] needs                support your local folks as
all within the required food safety              opposed to sending your money
standards. We need to make                       elsewhere. So I think that if people
that work”.                                      saw that going into the schools, it
                                                 would definitely be a positive
                                                 thing”.




                    How the Program Works
      FACILITATION                            HUMAN RESOURCES

      • Contracts established between head    • Student involvement in food preparation
      food service staff and the local
      farm/continued dialogue between farms   • Community/parent volunteers
      and schools
                                              • Staff volunteer time
      • Weekly deliveries from the farmers
                                              FUNDS

Mount Desert Elementary School
                                              • Creative purchasing practices

                                              • Community food and time donations

                                              • Grants through government and private
                                              foundations
Policy Recommendations
• Third Party Involvement to:
        - fund a public meeting to bring together stakeholders
        - farm-to-school coordinator position to facilitate connections between
          interested schools and farms
        - better knowledge of what local food is available locally

• Government facilitation to help create regional resource guides for interested
  parties

What is the role of the key stakeholders in facilitating the program? • Does the Hancock County Farm-to-School program provide insight for how to overcome the challenges faced in Tatamagouche? If so, how? The negative comparative method attempts to find independent variables associated with divergent outcomes (Kolberg, 2005).
