Title: 2027 Farm to School Census.
OMB Control Number: 0584-0646.
Summary of Collection: The intended purpose of this information
collection is to administer the 2027 Farm to School Census (Census),
previously titled 2023 Farm to School Census. This information
collection request is for a revision and extension for three years to
the currently approved Farm to School Census and Comprehensive Review
(OMB Number 0584-0646, expiration date 5/31/2025).
Section 18 of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act
(NSLA) authorized and funded the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
to establish a farm to school program to assist eligible entities,
through grants and technical assistance, in implementing farm to school
programs that improve food and agriculture education as well as access
to local foods in schools. This work is housed within the Food and
Nutrition Service (FNS) Community Food Systems Division (CFSD). As part
of the Farm to School Program's authorization, CFSD collects and
disseminates information on farm to school activities throughout the
country. The Census provides the only nationally representative data
available on farm to school participation and activities in the United
States. It also compiles detailed information about State- and school
food authority (SFA)-level farm to school engagement.
Need and Use of the Information: The 2027 Census will collect and
synthesize data from a national census of SFAs to fulfill the following
study objectives:
(1) establish the scope of SFA participation in farm to school
activities and the characteristics of participating SFAs;
(2) describe details of SFA participation in certain farm to school
activities (especially procurement of local foods);
(3) assess sources of support for farm to school activities and
identify areas for additional assistance; and
(4) compare findings across different types of SFAs (i.e., based on
characteristics such as size, urbanicity, and eligibility for free and
reduced-price meals) and to findings from the 2023 and 2019 Census.
The results of this study will be used to assess farm to school
program engagement and to set priorities for USDA outreach and
technical support, as mandated by the NSLA.
Description of Respondents: State, Local and Tribal Governments,
Businesses.
Number of Respondents: 18,665.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Once, Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 18,226.
