Food for Thought - St. Stephen's School Rome

Food for Thought was born out of the shared aspiration to nourish our students with wholesome and honest food, which informs the choices they make for the health of humans and the environment. Through an interdisciplinary approach our mission is to:

Create and sustain an on-campus edible organic garden that is fully integrated into the curriculum and culture of the school

Nourish our community with healthy, nutritious meals inspired by our garden, Roman culinary traditions and locally sourced food

Inspire our students to lead a healthy lifestyle; to develop the skills of land stewardship; to be active in the school community and the wider community with the greater goal of healing our environment as global citizens

Our shared vision is that, by September 1, 2017 there will be a completely sustainable food culture in place at St Stephen’s, reflected in the food that we grow and eat, the use of the garden as a community teaching space, the curriculum that we teach, and the state of our campus.
