UConn Extension hosts several programs to help build a sustainable food system. Our programs help increase access and availability of fresh, local food for CT residents in K-12 schools and early care centers, as well as through direct purchasing from local farms. Sustainability encompasses environmental integrity, economic vitality, and social equity. Our programs are supported by state agencies and federal grants, with deep partnerships to community-based non profits, producer associations, and researchers/experts.
