My Project

Food security and sustainability go hand in hand, and it is becoming clearer that switching to a plant-based diet that is locally grown can be the most sustainable change that an individual can make. My students understand this and many would like to eat more sustainable food; however, a major hurdle for them is that they do not have control over the food they eat at home.

This project will allow students to experiment with different, innovative, and sustainable ways to grow their food.

It will allow them to experiment with different growing techniques, and ultimately empower the students to make more sustainable choices.
