Turkey Valley Community School District

Turkey Valley has had a school garden for several years. It is primarily cared for by the 4th grade classroom, with help from the High School environmental science classes. All students K-12 enjoy garden produce in our cafeteria.

Through the Northeast Iowa Food & Fitness Initiative, Turkey Valley has been home to a FoodCorps service member since the 2011-2012 school year.

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.

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.

CTC School Garden

 CTC School Garden has been developed to expand Environmental Education within our school. We serve students with special needs from pre-k to 21 on 2 campuses. Through fundraising, grants, community support and a partnership with "My Local Garden" we have been able to develop a school garden. We are now in the process of supporting our staff in the development and implementation of Environmental Education through our garden. We are also working on the development of educational and sensory environments that enhance the learning environment for our students.

Marina Orth Foundation School Garden Project

The Marina Orth Foundation Created a project on 2013 to fit with their existing Step by Step Project which focuses on English, Technology and Leadership.

One of the original purposes of the Step By Step Project was to promote the development of skills in our students to give them the necessary characteristics to compete in today’s society. With this in mind, the School Gardens project will fit with our existing educational objectives and will also promote understanding of how to care for the environment and use it in a sustainable manner.
