Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
School districts across our region are looking for ways to improve the quality of food served at lunch (and sometimes breakfast). But they’re confronting a lot of tricky challenges, like covering the cost of fruits and vegetables during the recession or sourcing food from more local farmers. From the farm field to cafeteria tray, we examine the challenge of feeding healthy food to our region’s students.
