WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Agriculture Department is ending two pandemic-era programs that provided more than $1 billion for schools and food banks to purchase food from local farmers and producers.

The $660 million Local Food For Schools program, which was started under President Joe Biden, was canceled for 2025.

Last year, the USDA announced a more $1 billion investment for the school food programs, with $471.5 million allocated for states to buy local foods to provide schools taking part in free or reduced-cost meal programs, and another $188.6 million for child care centers involved in the Child and Adut Care Food Program, USA Today reported.
