Importance of children learning to passionately and confidently grow and cook food at school and home

We know what the facts are: one in four Australian children is overweight or obese, and these children are likely to become obese adults. Our Kitchen Garden Program shows children and their families how to delight in, share andĀ celebrateĀ great food at school and consequently at home.

The program is the longest and most structured intervention children and families will participate in is the education system. Experiencing pleasurable food education means children will see it as equally important as everything else they learn, and gain more from their education than we could ever hope for. The program has so many benefits including opening up to children and their communities what they could do and what they have to offer the world in a way they had never drempt of.
