Edible Schoolyard

The Edible Schoolyard is an integrated program that combines hands-on gardening and cooking education within school curricula. It aims to teach students about sustainable agriculture, healthy eating habits, and environmental responsibility through active participation in growing and preparing food. By connecting classroom learning with real-world experience, it fosters nutritional awareness, encourages local food understanding, and promotes a lifelong appreciation for food origins and healthy choices. The program often partners with schools to create gardens on campus, building community engagement and supporting experiential learning across various subjects.
