The Intertribal Agriculture Council is hosting a Farm to School webinar series designed to elevate the voices, experiences, and practical knowledge of those working directly in local and regional farm‑to‑school efforts across Indian Country. These sessions center real-world practice, community insight, regulatory framework, and the lived expertise of practitioners who are advancing tribal food sovereignty through school nutrition pathways.

This series is part of a USDA cooperative agreement supporting IAC’s work to better understand how tribal producers, school nutrition programs, and community partners are navigating Farm to School opportunities. The goal is to identify what is working, where support is most needed, and how partners can more effectively align resources to support IAC member producers.

Speakers for this session will include representatives from the Intertribal Agriculture Council, USDA, the National Farm to School Network, and regional partners who are actively engaged in Farm to School implementation across their communities.

Speakers will share brief reflections from their local or regional work, highlighting what’s happening on the ground, what’s working, and what challenges or opportunities they see in connecting tribal producers with school nutrition markets. A national perspective will also be included to help connect local experiences to broader Farm to School efforts across the country.

Participants can expect:

• A 60 minute session with time reserved for audience Q&A

• A conversational, community-centered format featuring multiple speakers

• Space to share local and regional perspectives from your area

• Inclusion of a national Farm to School voice for broader framing
