Madison Farm to Fork Farm to School Program

This is a service site with the national program FoodCorps.

The Farm to School program serves students in the Ennis School District. Students engage in regular classes in the newly built Ennis School Garden, receive nutrition education lessons, take field trips to local farms and ranches, participate in Good Thymes Camp (a summer day camp with a focus on sustainable agriculture & natural resource conservation), and much more! The Farm to School program is also working with the Ennis School Lunch program to source and serve more fresh, local foods in the lunchroom. 

 

Con Sabor

The program presents Cuban recipes, using local products. It shows traditional and current Cuban cuisine, with information about the healthy cook. We present many materials related with botanical and cultural characteristics of many edible plants, in order to show the rich biodiversity of them. There are some messages about the relation between food production and environment. It has a deep educational purpose.

I have published 6 cookbooks and several healthy food papers, such as:

Convivia La Habana-Germinal

Slow Food Cuba joins projects linked to the production and consumption of food related to human health and environment preservation. These groups are linked to several Cuban institutions that lead the processes of sustainable feeding. They linked different fields such as education, health, production, storage and consumption of food, agroecology, permaculture, renewable energy and food culture. We have worked in an integrated way. We also have collaborated with the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Turin and other university projects.

Food Day

Food Day is a nationwide celebration and a movement for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food. Food Day is every year on October 24, and seeks to inspire the public to work together to address today’s pressing food issues, such as obesity, access to healthy food, sustainability, and labor rights.  

University of Montana Dining Services Garden

 The UDS Garden and associated closed-loop campus food system serve as a living learning laboratory where students, faculty, staff, and guests can learn about food production through various gardening methods, passive solar greenhouse design and management, innovative waste reduction, composting, and water catchment. The garden provides an alternative learning environment where people connect with each other, the land, and agriculture, through the shared work of growing food for the campus community.

Youth Garden Project

The Youth Garden Project (YGP) is a non-profit organization in Moab, Utah with a mission of cultivating healthy children, families and community through educational programs and the profound act of connecting people with food from seed to table. Our 1 ½   acres of land includes about 64 garden beds, a CSA plot, an orchard, a greenhouse and grow dome, chickens and rabbits, a commercial community kitchen, indoor classroom space and several unique outdoor classroom areas.

100 Seeds of Change

The Social Justice Learning Institute has developed the "100 Seeds of Change" Food System Initiative - a comprehensive, city-wide plan to create 100 urban gardens at homes, local schools, city parks and other locations with city youth & community members. The goal of this initiative is to transform Inglewood into a healthy living community by empowering residents to collaboratively be active in growing their own food in a local network.

The Amazing Places Project

The Amazing Places Project

We operate in partnership with Community Space Challenge, funded by the Big Lottery Fund. Community Space Challenge is about young people taking on run down and forgotten spaces and changing them into fresh green places for everyone to use and enjoy. It covers 70 areas of the country and focuses on involving young people growing up in tough situations: they learn about the environment, growing fresh food, creating sensory and wildlife community gardens, and linking them into their communities.

Edible Ajo Schoolyard (EASY)

Ajo Edible School Yard Program The Ajo Unified School District (AUSD) School Garden Program began in the spring of 2008 driven by the then-public health nurse Fran Driver, also an AUSD parent. The program soon partnered with Desert Senita Community Health Center (DSCHC) and grew to serve 2 Elementary Science and Math classes and 3 High School Culinary Arts Classes. In spring 2013, the AUSD and DSCHC, received a small grant that allowed DSCHC Garden Promotora, Melanie Daniel and AUSD Principle, Brian MacKenzie to attend the Edible School Yard Project training at Berkley California.
