BATON ROUGE, La. (TWILA) — Louisiana’s Farm to School program is marking a decade of helping teachers bring agriculture into their classrooms.
As part of the program, teachers are learning how to turn food waste into compost, which they can use to help students understand where their food comes from and how it can be reused.
TWILA’s Gabriella Mercurio reports on the program and its efforts to teach students about agriculture’s role in everyday life.
