Pre-and post-surveys measured knowledge, attitudes, and consumption of fruits and vegetables in both groups. Dietary recalls measured consumption of fruits and vegetables post-intervention. Rich pictures captured children's mental model of food post intervention.Results: The rich pictures of farm to school students were more likely to include fruits and vegetables (OR = 7.2; 95% CI = 1.66,31.26) and imagery of the natural environment (insignificant) compared to the control group. Their overall mental models of food were significantly healthier (p < .01). No students in either group (n = 41) ate the USDA recommended servings of fruits and vegetables.Conclusions and implications: Farm to school programs influence children's mental model of food and may give students a more robust understanding of where food comes from.","PeriodicalId":520493,"journal":{"name":"Food, nutrition and health (Singapore)","volume":"2 1","pages":"10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11963399/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143775261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
