Nice Roots Farm-to-School Module 2: Growing from Seed to Harvest
The next installment of Nice Roots’ Farm-to-School curriculum is here! When students visit Nice Roots Farm to learn about growing food from seed to harvest, they start by discussing how growing their own food can be an act of food justice, and things to consider when sourcing food ethically and sustainably. Then, based on what is in season during their trip, students dive into learning more about a specific plant family. The module wraps up with a hands-on activity like seed starting or food tasting that supports students in deepening their relationship to their food, nutrition and the land.
Back to School with Nice Roots Farm: Food Justice, Land Sovereignty and Deconstructing the Food System
Nice Roots Farm at Share Food Program is in the thick of the growing—and learning!—season. Since spring 2023, 15 different groups of K-8 students from nearby schools have taken field trips to the farm in Allegheny West where they learn about urban growing, nutrition, and wellness, all through a food justice lens.
Read on to learn more about how food justice and land sovereignty movements shape our food system with this first lesson in Nice Roots’ Farm-to-School curriculum.
