About the Program: 

 

Created and taught by a team of clinicians, chefs, and educators, The Food Education Project'smission is to improve health through environmental awareness! Through four major components--health, nutrition, environment, and food curricula, students engage in hands-on material that improves their knowledge about how food affects the body and health. As a community-based behavioral intervention and "the new health curriculum" in San Francisco, and soon-to-be expanding to the East Bay, we introduce lesson plans on farming technique, health education, diabetes, and globally diverse nutritional concepts (just to name a few) to grades K-12, adhering to the eight core standards of the Department of Education.
