SCHOOLS PROJECT: SOWING THE SEED |
||
 |
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. |
|
|
||
| What's happening now? | ||
From January 2008 we have been given funding by the Ernest Cooke Trust to extend a recent pilot scheme. |
||
The project is very flexible and has been run with KS 1 - 3 and in Steiner Waldorf schools. We provide a hands-on learning experience where the children have responsibility for their learning. |
||
We aim to introduce to children the idea that our treatment of soil alters the nutritional quality of the food we grow in it. This links in with many aspects of the National Curriculum and many current national initiatives. |
