Plant-Powered School Meals Pilot Act establishes a pilot grant program for schools to offer 100 percent plant-based food options.

The Plant-Powered School Meals Pilot Act amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to create a pilot grant program for school food authorities. These grants will fund activities such as professional development for food service staff on plant-based meals, offering nondairy beverages as milk substitutes, and incorporating plant-based food education in classrooms. Schools can use the grants to procure plant-based foods from local and underserved producers.
