Resume

The purpose of the intervention is to engage school children in sustainable farming and through school garden activities give them practical knowledge and tools to increase food supply and improve children’s nutrition. The intervention also aims at making the rural municipalities aware of the need of implementing local curriculums on environment, climate and sustainable farming to create practical learning opportunities for children and youth. The school gardens will become a new learning space and parents will be invited to knowledge sharing events to learn from their children. CN will arrange kitchen garden community demonstrations for parents and support them in setting up their own kitchen gardens. Teachers, children and parents will together organise advocacy campaigns to share knowledge on the benefits of organic farming and put pressure on the rural municipalities to initiate the development of local curriculums.
