The C.H.E.F. program aims to offer nutritious scratch cooking in school cafeterias, connecting them with classrooms and communities in Arkansas and Tennessee.
Locally sourced foods often need kitchen preparation, which requires culinary skills. The C.H.E.F. Challenge plans to place two Chef Ambassadors in selected schools to help nutrition staff cook with local produce from nearby farms.
Over the next two years, the initiative will implement new processes, create recipes, educate children and staff, gather data, and develop models to enhance culinary skills and education in schools.
