Schools Project: Sowing the Seed Delivering hands-on learning activities to teach children about nutrition from food. Growing nutritious food requires a better understanding of soil ecology. Educating our next generation and teaching them the value of good nutrition, begins with our schools' project: Sowing the Seed. Linked to our main research we use the same idea of tracking the flow of essential nutrients from soil to crop using a mix of science and/or art depending on age and ability. Testing the same crops but grown using different methods (known to affect soil micro-life) can affect the uptake of health providing nutrients. This can be assessed from scientific analyses and through experience by taste testing. Cultivating a deeper understanding in children of how soil ecosystems affect the health and vitality of plants opens the gate for them to realise the importance of nutrition. Find out more:
