Schools that feed their communities

Farm My School is a groundbreaking model of food education that transforms unused land within schools into regenerative market gardens that feed, educate and connect communities.

Our approach goes beyond farming

There is a growing recognition of the need to reorient food systems so that they address food insecurity and environmental degradation. Communities are the key to localising food in an equitable way. Schools provide a unique opportunity to engage children, families and communities in promoting healthy food systems.

Inspired by a vision of a healthier future for our communities and planet, we're redefining how farming and food production can shape education, inspire, and foster stronger connections within communities.
