Summary

We create unique, hands-on experiences around the field with the aim of promoting an appreciation of nature and food among children, young people and adults alike.

Problem

Many children grow up disconnected from how food is grown.

What funding enables

Six schools and four kindergartens receive setup support, training, and long-term integration of vegetable gardens into everyday school life.

Expected outcome

Children and teachers experience the work and joy behind regional food through hands-on gardening.
