2017 SOUTH CAROLINA FARM TO INSTITUTION SUMMIT

ABOUT THE SUMMIT South Carolina Farm to Institution, in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control’s Division of Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity and School Health, is excited to co-host the inaugural South Carolina Farm to Institution Summit. This year’s theme is Growing Stronger Together.

The purpose of the summit is to bring together key farm to institution players to further encourage local procurement, reinforce healthy, local food education, and provide the skills to establish a garden, farmers’ market or community supported agriculture (CSA) program on-site. The day will begin with an overview of both SC Farm to Institution as well as the Diabetes Prevention Program. The keynote will be Anupama Joshi, the Executive Director and Co-Founder of the National Farm to School Network. There will be two breakout sessions specific to educators, producers, worksites, food distributors, Diabetes Self Management Education/Training and Diabetes Prevention Program sites. To facilitate growing stronger together, the afternoon session will include the opportunity for regional networking.

SC FARM TO INSTITUTION South Carolina Farm to Institution originated in 2011 as a two-year farm to school project funded from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2015, South Carolina Farm to Institution was founded to encompass Farm to Preschool, Farm to School and a wide variety of institutional sites beyond preschools and schools.

The mission of South Carolina Farm to Institution is to increase access to healthy, local foods and create markets for farmers throughout South Carolina.

South Carolina Farm to Institution is a collaborative partnership between the South Carolina Department of Agriculture, South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, South Carolina Department of Education, South Carolina Department of Social Services and Clemson University. South Carolina Farm to Institution seeks to increase the number of farmers certified to provide locally grown products into institutions, such as schools, preschools, hospitals, military installations, and other businesses.

Core goals of South Carolina Farm to Institution include providing education to food service staff on procuring and preparing local products, promoting SC Grown within cafeterias and food service operations, and creating hands-on experiences such as farmers markets, CSAs, and institutional gardens.

South Carolina Farm to Institution supports sites in implementing four components: 1. Source at least two SC grown foods each month 2. Promote Certified SC Grown in the cafeteria, canteen, or other food venue 3. Integrate nutrition and local food education 4. Establish a vegetable garden, farmers’ market, or community supported agriculture program (CSA) For more information, visit the website at scfarmtoinstitution.com.

DIVISION OF DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, OBESITY, AND SCHOOL HEALTH The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control’s Division of Diabetes, Heart Disease, Obesity and School Health works to reduce the burden of prediabetes, diabetes, and heart disease throughout the state of South Carolina by partnering with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs), Health Systems, and other organizations and entities to promote prevention and management of chronic diseases and conditions, with a focus on achieving optimal health outcomes.

Two of the programs that we promote and support are the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) and Diabetes Self-Management Education/Training (DSME/T).

Diabetes education, also known as diabetes self-management education/training, is defined as a collaborative process through which people with or at risk for diabetes gain the knowledge and skills needed to modify behavior and successfully self-manage the disease and its related conditions. DSME/T is an interactive, ongoing process involving the person with diabetes (or the caregiver or family) and a diabetes educator(s). The intervention aims to achieve optimal health status, better quality of life and reduce the need for costly health care. Diabetes education focuses on seven self-care behaviors that are essential for improved health status and greater quality of life. The Self-Care Behaviors are Healthy Eating, Being Active, Monitoring, Taking Medication, Problem Solving, Healthy Coping and Reducing Risk.

The National DPP is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) evidence-based diabetes prevention lifestyle change program. The year-long program is designed for people who have prediabetes or are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The program is led by a trained lifestyle coach who facilitates the CDC approved curriculum in a group setting. The program teaches participants to make lasting lifestyle changes, like eating healthier, adding physical activity into their daily routine, and reducing stress. Organizations can help reduce the growing problem of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes by becoming a National DPP provider, and serving as a support system to assist individuals with learning how to make healthy lifestyle changes.
