Welcome, ReFED attendees! We created this space to share relevant resources with you.

Stewardship of our planet is part of our mission, and it is clear that scratch cooking in schools is tied to several sustainable outcomes. Most crucially, the health of our children is inextricably linked to the health of our planet.
