USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service recently launched an online dashboard that shares data from USDA’s child nutrition programs through visual tools. This data can be harnessed by federal, state, and local organizations to assess trends in child nutrition program activity and better inform meal service for our nation’s children.
Program data is available for the:
- National School Lunch Program
- School Breakfast Program
- Child and Adult Care Food Program
- Summer Food Service Program
And the dashboard provides national and state-level visualizations of:
- Meals served
- Participation
- Funding data
Here’s a visualization of participation in the National School Lunch Program (national level) across more than 20 years:
