Erin McKee VanSlooten joined IATP in 2010. Her current projects focus on Farm to School and Farm to Early Care, getting fresh healthy produce from our local growers into school and early care meals, as well as testing and promoting curricula and educational models that encourage food literacy as children make the connection between those locally grown foods and the farmers who produce them. She is also working with a broad coalition of stakeholders to push forward state-level policy to support Farm to School and Early Care in Minnesota.
