The resolution recognizes and celebrates the 20th anniversary of FRESHFARM FoodPrints, a program dedicated to food and garden education in District of Columbia schools. Established in 2005, FoodPrints has expanded its reach to 8,000 students across 21 public elementary schools, focusing on historically underserved communities. The program employs a unique educational model that integrates food education with academic standards, providing immersive experiences that teach students about food sourcing, gardening, and cooking. Notable achievements include the establishment of teaching kitchens in multiple schools and a visit from First Lady Michelle Obama as part of her Let's Move! initiative.

The resolution highlights the program's impact on students' culinary confidence and food choices, as well as its role in building community through initiatives like school-based farm stands that improve food access. Funded through various city investments and partnerships, FoodPrints aims to continue fostering joy and community around nutritious food for the next 20 years and beyond. The Council of the District of Columbia expresses its support and recognition of FRESHFARM FoodPrints' contributions to education and community health.
