Sustainable Food Systems continues to receive national and international
acknowledgement and recognition. These credits speak to John Turenne's
passion, vision, and successes as Sustainable Food Systems continues to
bridge the gap between traditional and sustainable food systems.
Kanawha County West Virginia is Stepping Up, October 29, 210
Sustainable Food Systems is headed to Kanawha County, West Virginia to continue the Food Revolution. John Turenne and Alden Cadwell talk to the local media about bringing healthier food to the kids in Charleston, West Virginia area.
Some moms in Charleston are chanting, "If Cabell County Schools can do it, we can too." Once the Food Revolution cameras left, Sustainable Food Systems stayed behind and retrained the school cooks—in every kitchen of every school in Cabell county.
April Hamilton was especially worried about the impact on kids who often eat better at school than at home, "We need to make their meals exceptional, exceptionally nutritious. It doesn't have to be gourmet, but just a really great whole, fresh meal."

to the tastes of student customers." Connecticut Farmland Trust
