School Cafeterias

Where does food come from?

We are basically trying to use 'lost' space around the school on floors and walls to grow food and show students that food does not come initially from supermarkets. It supports one of the IB PYP units of inquiry which is the title of the programme. It also supports a child nutrition centre that our school owner, Pilar Deza, founded in an extremely poor area of Lima quite close to the school, http://www.coninperu.org/.

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.

Sustainable Kids

Since 2007, the students of Rhode Street School in Dinsdale, Hamilton, New Zealand have created annual Vision Maps as part of their Enviroschools inquiry unit on sustainability. From these student-centred and voiced ideas came the popular theme of growing their own healthy food. The students also wanted to learn how to prepare and cook the produce and, finally, how to market and share their surplus.

Antigua International School

The Antigua International School (AIS) was founded to provide a world-class education, based on critical thinking, to the children of Guatemala, regardless of their socio-economic status.  Half of AIS's student body receives scholarships to attend. Through an Edible Schoolyard, our hope is to educate students and the extended community on the benefits of growing their own food.  AIS's diverse student population provides a great opportunity to create positive nutritional changes in Guatemala.
