School food gardens are one of the best ways to supplement meals for learners. The additional nutrition from fresh herbs and vegetables significantly improves a students ability to concentrate and perform better.
FTFA understands that education, sensitivity, and support form the basis of sustainable food garden projects, and this is why our approach is to start small and grow big. We’ve learned through almost three decades of experience that this really is the most efficient path to real development.
We have a variety of school gardening interventions, depending on the age of the school learners as well as stakeholder involvement, and a large database of worthy schools who have applied. We always recommend that most school projects start with a Permaculture Starter Pack (PSP).
