Farm to school education connects learning to the real world by helping students foster a deeper appreciation for local agriculture and healthy eating habits. Students experience and understand how nature supports life and the food they eat. Farm to school can take many forms, from classroom lessons to field trips in the school garden. Many programs include meeting farmers and farm workers to learn about the hard work that goes into growing food and about the ecosystems that support healthy crops. Educators can incorporate local food into the curriculum as a hands-on and engaging approach to teaching essential concepts about food, health, agriculture, and nutrition. When educators bring cultural relevance to farm to school education, they can create meaningful and engaging learning experiences for all students. And when this happens, students' health, attendance, participation, and academic success can all improve. The "Eating Learning Growing" guide and its framework, activities, and reflections are designed to help educators easily enrich existing lessons to include diverse topics, histories, learning styles, and customs.
