学校食物森林

Leading the Way in Nutrition and Environmental Education
Educating children about their natural resources and health is critical to preparing them for a sustainable future. 

学校食物森林 (formerly Edible Garden Initiative) uses edible gardens and Food Forests as outdoor learning laboratories in Miami-Dade County's public elementary schools to instill in children the desire to eat nutritious food while learning to care for the environment. Students learn curriculum through hands-on production of edible gardens and Food Forests. 与此同时, families and other members of the community work in the gardens and attend healthy cooking and gardening workshops.

通过学校食物森林, students develop a deeper understanding of the connection between health and their environment. ​

The initiative engages students to plant and maintain edible gardens and Food Forests on school grounds while using those gardens to learn about healthy eating and environmental sustainability. 

From a pilot program in just 5 schools, the 学校食物森林 initiative has grown to now involve more than 30000名学生 在71 Miami-Dade County Public Schools, with diverse populations from mostly lower-income families. 这几乎 25% of all elementary schools in the district.  

The ultimate objective of 学校食物森林 is to significantly improve eating patterns in children and their families while also improving students' academic achievement.
