Whole Kids Foundation partners with School Food Matters to bring projects such as Schools to Market, School Garden Grants and the Honeybee Programme to schools in the UK.
In partnership with School Food Matters and Whole Foods Market stores, students go on a journey from farm to market. School Food Matters exists to teach children about food and to improve children’s access to healthy, sustainable food during their time at school.
Students attend a school assembly to learn more about where food comes from, participate in a chef-led culinary class where they perfect their own chutney recipes using in-season produce. They also visit a farm to harvest the ingredients for their chutney, design labels and price their product.
To date, Whole Kids Foundation has
awarded over £300,000 in Garden Grants to 153 schools in London! That means there’s a
whole lot of tasty veg now growing in school gardens.
The Honey Bee programme is designed to raise awareness of the vital importance of honey bees in food production and to introduce teachers to the wonders of keeping bees at school.
