An Edible Education places the child at the center of their

learning and uses food to engage all aspects of the child’s

education. Through growing, processing, cooking, eating,

studying, talking, and thinking about food, students

develop skills, knowledge, and behaviors that enrich their

academic and nonacademic lives, bolster their growth as

individuals and in relationships, and cultivate meaningful

engagement with their own health, the health of their

communities, and the health of the planet.

ANNUAL REPORT, 2017

A UNIQUE APPROACH

Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all methodology,

we support communities as they work to develop strong,

sustainable programs rooted in shared values and

standards of practice. Edible Education programs at all

stages of growth benefit greatly when given opportunities

to learn from our model and to build relationships with

others facing similar questions or challenges. We invest

in leaders who are creating exemplary programs, thus

advancing Edible Education as a vital force for change.

Food is the perfect teacher. Every discipline—math, science, the humanities—comes to life in the learning laboratory of a garden or kitchen classroom. In the lunchroom, teachers and cooks alike use daily meals to feed students’ minds as well as their bodies.

.

Children learn by doing. The hands-on experience of growing and preparing food teaches students the value of real work, collaboration, and caretaking. Stewardship and social responsibility become deeply personal, and students feel empowered.

.

Children learn with all their senses. When children’s senses are awakened and educated—and they can taste, smell, touch, hear, see—they experience the world around them with new richness and complexity.

.

Children thrive in nature. When children grow, cook, and eat food together, and return nutrients to the soil, they come to respect and appreciate their interconnectedness with the cycles of life.

Good food is a right, not a privilege. When public schools make a free, delicious, organic school lunch for every student, we not only address the critical social inequities of hunger and obesity, we truly nourish every child.

.

Schools and farms support each other. A set of criteria for buying school food from sustainable farms means investing in the local economy and community. This reinforces children’s understanding of where their food comes from and how important it is for human beings to take care of the land, for the future of the planet.

The cafeteria is the heart of the school. Every day, students discover how the ritual of eating together at the table expresses the essential values of nourishment, stewardship, and communication.

.

Beauty is a language of care. Beauty communicates to students that we value them. An environment where careful thought has gone into everything, from the colors on the walls to the plates on the tables, communicates to children the practice of noticing and cultivating beauty in their lives and the world. They feel valued and understand what it means to give others that gift.

Alice Waters created the Edible Schoolyard Project in 1996. Our mission is to build and share a national edible education curriculum for students in pre-kindergarten through high school. We envision gardens and kitchens as interactive classrooms for all academic subjects, and a free, nutritious, organic lunch for every student. Integrating this curriculum into schools can transform the health and values of every child in America.

“To spend time in an Edible Schoolyard is to realize how much more is going on here than teaching kids how to garden or cook. Kids begin to learn about food in all its dimensions—as an edible medium of culture, science, ecology, and even social justice. How can we best restore the soil? Improve our health? Rebuild community? Heal families. The Edible Schoolyard is an eloquent and practical answer to some of the most pressing questions facing us as a society.” —MICHAEL POLLAN

“The Edible Schoolyard Project takes literature politics, biology, history, and science out of the classroom, and lets young people cultivate their disciplines in a garden, stew them in a kitchen, and discuss them over a table together with love. The result: some of the most joyful, committed, and thoughtful young people I’ve ever met.” —RAJ PATEL
