Iowa SSB1158 modifies educational curricula to include nutrition instruction for students from kindergarten through grade 12, emphasizing the importance of animal-based protein, dairy, vegetables, and fruit. It also updates career and technical education to include instruction on food production, local sourcing, and sustainable farming practices for students in grades 9 through 12. The bill seeks a waiver from federal requirements to allow the state to set its own nutritional guidelines for school meals, which must be at least as stringent as federal standards.
