The New York State Office of General Services, Department of Health and Department of Agriculture and Markets today announced several new initiatives to better connect New York schools to local growers and producers across the state to ensure the use of fresh, healthy foods in school meals across the state and boost the agriculture industry. State agency Commissioners RoAnn Destito, Howard Zucker and Richard Ball announced the initiatives as a result of a successful listening session with stakeholders from the agriculture industry and state and local schools during Governor Cuomo's Capital for a Day in Rochester.
