WHO IS THE URBAN SCHOOL FOOD ALLIANCE?
The Urban School Food Alliance (USFA) is a data- driven nonprofit founded in 2012 by school nutrition professionals in large public school districts with a mission to change the landscape of child nutrition. For more than a decade, its members have worked to improve food quality, access, and sustainability in school food. Their achievements include helping school districts adopt an antibiotic-free standard for poultry, even before many of the nation’s leading restaurants, and removing 225 million polystyrene trays from landfills every year by implementing compostable plates. USFA leverages this expertise and experience to share evidence-informed practices, make high-quality ingredients available and affordable, and advocate for policies that support programs and students. The Urban School Food Alliance operates under the leadership of an executive director and board of directors and is supported by a dedicated team of employees.
