This book highlights the potential of school farms to fight hunger and malnutrition by providing access to locally produced, fresh, and healthy food as well as providing young students with educational opportunities to learn, interact with nature, and develop their skills. Hunger is one of the most pressing concerns we face today and there is a clear need to provide alternative sources of food to feed a fast-growing population. School farms offer a sustainable opportunity to produce food locally in order to feed underprivileged students who rely on school meals as an integral part of their daily diet. Approaching the concept of school farms through four themes, Problem, People, Process, and Place, the book shows how they can play an essential role in providing sustainable and healthy food for students, the critical role educational institutions can play in promoting this process, and the positive impact hands-on farming can have on students' mental and physical wellbeing. Utilizing the authors' personal hands-on experiences, and drawing on global case studies, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical guidance to help with the establishment of school farms and community-based gardening projects and an education system which promotes a sustainable and healthy approach to food, agriculture, and the environment. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of food security, agriculture, healthy and sustainable diets, education for sustainable development, and urban studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers involved in food policy, developing school and community projects, global health and international development, as well as education professionals.

"As the world population continues to rise there is an increased movement of people to urban areas and a greater disconnect from rural life. Children living in urban centers may lack the opportunities to learn about agriculture, which affects their daily lives. Studies on elementary aged children's knowledge and understanding of agriculture demonstrate that children have a low level of agriculture literacy. Interestingly though, many of these same studies show that a great deal of children's information on agriculture is acquired outside of school. Consequently, many education researchers have advocated for the incorporation of informal (out-of-school) learning opportunities in agriculture into the science curriculum. In Canada, there is a growing trend of agriculture education programs at the elementary and higher education levels. However, most of the studies on the impact of these types of programs have been conducted on American (US) and European programs. It was, therefore, decided to evaluate a Canadian program: children's learning from the Farm-to-School summer program located at the McGill University Macdonald Campus Farm.The study period consisted of four 5-day sessions during August, 2016. During this period two thematic programs were offered: Plate-to-Farm and Global Food Security. Both programs were offered in both languages, with one week in English and one week in French. Children and their parents from all four summer program sessions were invited to participate in the study. Five research questions asked were: 1 - Does participation in the 5-day Farm-to-School Program improve children's agricultural knowledge? 2 - Do family demographics impact children's knowledge of agriculture (age, maternal language, ethnicity, gender, etc.) 3 - Do children's agricultural background (previous Farm-to-School experience and family agricultural background) have an impact on their agricultural knowledge? 4 - What are the parents' perceptions on how the summer program improved (or not) their children's agricultural knowledge? 5-What are the parents' perceptions on how the summer program influenced (or not) their children's agricultural behaviours? Children's knowledge was evaluated using a pre-and post-test design. Participants were separated into two age groups (6-8 years old and 9-12 years old), and administered a pre- and post-test using a clicker-based response system. Participants' parents provided demographic information, and completed a post-program survey on perceptions. All data was analyzed using SAS version 9.4.Results for the first three questions, using generalized linear mixed-model (GLIMMX) analyses showed no significant difference between the overall pre- and post-test scores. However, English-speaking children were found to have significantly higher scores compared to French-speaking, bilingual and children who spoke other languages (p
