Future Food Team
This project focused on building an understanding of how educators across grade levels utilize school gardens, connect them to content areas, and explore unrealized opportunities to expand these connections to food systems. Educators engage with place-based education (PBE) and utilize school gardens as a way of building community connections and exploring environmental topics.
