The Edible Schoolyard

The Edible Schoolyard is an educational program that integrates gardening and cooking into school curricula to teach students about sustainable food practices, nutrition, and environmental responsibility. It typically involves creating and maintaining vegetable gardens on school grounds, where students learn hands-on skills in planting, harvesting, and preparing food. The goal is to promote healthier eating habits, environmental awareness, and a deeper understanding of where food comes from. By engaging students directly in growing and cooking their own food, the program fosters a connection to nature, teamwork, and life skills that extend beyond the kitchen.
