School Farms
Author: Alshimaa Aboelmakarem Farag
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000484017
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This book highlights the potential of school farms to fight hunger and malnutrition by providing access to locally produced, fresh, and healthy food as well as providing young students with educational opportunities to learn, interact with nature, and develop their skills. Hunger is one of the most pressing concerns we face today and there is a clear need to provide alternative sources of food to feed a fast-growing population. School farms offer a sustainable opportunity to produce food locally in order to feed underprivileged students who rely on school meals as an integral part of their daily diet. Approaching the concept of school farms through four themes, Problem, People, Process, and Place, the book shows how they can play an essential role in providing sustainable and healthy food for students, the critical role educational institutions can play in promoting this process, and the positive impact hands-on farming can have on students' mental and physical wellbeing. Utilizing the authors' personal hands-on experiences, and drawing on global case studies, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical guidance to help with the establishment of school farms and community-based gardening projects and an education system which promotes a sustainable and healthy approach to food, agriculture, and the environment. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of food security, agriculture, healthy and sustainable diets, education for sustainable development, and urban studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers involved in food policy, developing school and community projects, global health and international development, as well as education professionals.

Implementation and Evaluation of the Farm to School Program in the School District of the Menomonie Area Elementary Schools

ISBN:
Category : Educational evaluation
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
The overall goal of the research project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Farm to School program in Wisconsin, specifically in the School District of the Menomonie Area, for increasing acceptance of and knowledge about fruits and vegetables in school-aged children. The Specific Aims were to: 1) determine if monthly exposure to fresh fruits and vegetables through a Harvest of the Month program increases the acceptance of fruits and vegetables; and 2) assess the effectiveness of 30-minute nutrition education lessons on increasing the knowledge about fresh fruits and vegetables. Data were collected through pre- and post-surveys administered to 4th and 5th grade students in the School District of the Menomonie Area and the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District. The data indicated exposure to three taste testing sessions through the AE program did not increase acceptance (p = 0.197) of fruits and vegetables, but may have improved nutrition knowledge (p = 0.003). Nutrition knowledge (p = 0.05) was also improved in those students receiving nutrition education lessons, but not to a higher degree than those exposed to only taste testing. Future research should aim to evaluate Farm to School programs in their entirety as opposed to individual components.
