Kids grow up fast, and we want them to grow up with a love for healthy, local food and the know-how to choose it and prepare it for themselves.
The Ontario Edible Education Network has been working hard with people across Ontario who are getting children and youth eating, growing, cooking, celebrating and learning about healthy, local food.
It’s been a good year for edible education in Ontario with an increase in support for Ontario’s Student Nutrition Programs, local celebrations of Canada’s first national Farm to School Month, and the inclusion of food literacy on the government’s agenda.
The Ontario Edible Education Network has worked to keep educators, food producers, advocates, and decision-makers connected and well-equipped with advocacy tools, teaching resources, project models, on-going mentorship and more. (Check out some of our latest Edible Education Profiles on leaders in the field.) But much work remains to be done.
We have big plans to move our vision of Edible Education forward – and we need your support to make it happen.
