Linking Education, Activity and Food Grant (LEAF)

The purpose of the LEAF Grant is to assist selected Pilot School Sites in developing and implementing school nutrition and physical activity policies that link education, activity, and food. Grantees will implement the nutrition standards as defined in SB 19; procure, distribute, prepare, and promote California fruits and vegetables through the school food service program and other food sales venues on campus; provide hands-on, interactive nutrition education (such as through school gardens) that supports California's Health Framework and Physical Education Framework and core academic standards; communicate and conduct outreach to the public and other grantees; and participate in a state level evaluation through key indicators identified by the LEAF evaluation committee. The LEAF Grant is provided by the California Department of Education and the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
