The Cultural Conservancy Native Foodways Program

The heart of The Cultural Conservancy’s Native Foodways work lies in connecting Native communities, Native youth, and non-Native allies together in a trailblazing effort to give Native communities equal access, knowledge, and understanding of their foods, traditions, and cultures. In doing so, we focus on health and nutrition through food as an integral step toward improved well-being.

The University Village Community Garden

The University Village Community Garden offers 170 plots of various size on 6.5 acres of farmland to the 3000+ residents of U.C. Berkeley's University Village Student Family Housing. Additionally, we have open community orchards, berry patches, and a children's garden. We are partnering with Nature Village to offer family programming, including edible education in our gardens and community center. 

St John's Lutheran Church Food Pantry

The food pantry at St John's works with area schools to ensure kid friendly, healthy food is available to the members of our community.

 

Through working with the administrators and guidance counselors at area schools we are able to identify families who need help putting a meal on their table. Our food pantry collects non-perishables and strives to provide fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy and animal-based proteins through the generous donations of our parishioners.

Through our school garden resources and engagement, PHHI is equipping teachers to integrate curriculum standards in the edible classroom and improving community nutrition through fresh produce.

How Does it Grow?

How Does it Grow? is the first online hub for teaching agricultural literacy to ages 12 through adulthood through the power of storytelling.

By creating broadcast-quality videos and other free, multi-platform tools, our goal is to reconnect people with how their food grows in order to inspire greater connection with — and demand for — whole, natural foods.

Within the release of just the first few episodes of the "How Does it Grow?" web series, our videos quickly clocked over 100,000 plays.

Minnesota Food Association

The mission of Minnesota Food Association (MFA) is to build a sustainable food system based on social, economic and environmental justice through education, training and partnerships.

We envision a community where:
• All people who desire to farm have the tools, knowledge, skills and access to resources necessary to be successful farmers.
• Organic and sustainable agricultural principles and practices are embraced and supported by both producers and consumers.
• All people eat organic, sustainably and locally produced food.

Teaching Teachers

We are piloting a curriculum for FET teachers as part of our Bachelors of Education Degree at the University of Johannesburg. The programme will be linked to community engagement through the module for Hospitality Studies (3rd year). Our third year students will manage and mentor a group of 1st year Bachelor of Education students through 3 'edible gardens' that will be developed and sustained at local schools where they will be doing their teaching pracicals in January 2015 and again in Sept 2015.
