Abstract
ABSTRACTFocusing on farm-to-school (FTS) policies, this article uses interviews with 10 school district foodservice directors in Indiana to identify what influences their decisions about where to purchase vegetables and fruits. It proposes new explanations for why some states embrace FTS and others do not: the position of truck farming in the overall state agricultural economy; the degree of state support for fruit and vegetable farming and FTS policies; the political orientation of the state; the significance of food cultures in encouraging children be more open to experimentation; and the ability of districts to create experiential learning about food that is vivid and memorable to children.
