Food Forests for Schools

Overview

Leading the Way in Nutrition and Environmental Education
教育儿童了解他们的自然资源和健康,对他们为可持续的未来做好准备至关重要. 

Food Forests for Schools (前身为“可食用花园倡议”)将可食用花园和食物森林作为迈阿密戴德县公立小学的户外学习实验室,在学习保护环境的同时,向孩子们灌输吃有营养食物的愿望. Students learn curriculum through hands-on production of edible gardens and Food Forests. Meanwhile, 家庭和其他社区成员在花园里工作,参加健康烹饪和园艺讲习班.

Through Food Forests for Schools, students develop a deeper understanding of the connection between health and their environment. ​

该倡议鼓励学生在校园内种植和维护可食用花园和食物森林,同时利用这些花园了解健康饮食和环境可持续性. 

From a pilot program in just 5 schools, the Food Forests for Schools initiative has grown to now involve more than 30,000 students within 71 Miami-Dade County Public Schools, with diverse populations from mostly lower-income families. This is almost 25% of all elementary schools in the district.  

“学校食物森林”的最终目标是显著改善儿童及其家庭的饮食模式,同时提高学生的学习成绩.
