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.

Farm to school (FTS) is a popular educational movement in the U.S. that engages students in experiential learning activities such as taste tests of local produce, food and garden-based education, and related activities connected to K-12 curriculum. FTS has been shown to have positive program outcomes such as modestly improving childhood nutrition (Berezowitz et al. 2015) and fostering environmental stewardship (Blair 2009). FTS has also been critiqued as ultimately not addressing the underlying causes of food insecurity (Allen and Guthman 2006). This thesis aims to strike middle ground between the celebration and social critique of FTS through ethnographic research that examines an FTS program at Hickory Middle School. This research characterizes how FTS 1) contributes to a collaborative learning environment and collective responsibility; 2) affects how students think about "healthy eating"; and 3) influences how students think about the three pillars of sustainability.

At its essence, "Farm to School" aims to close the literal and figurative distance between the foods children eat at school and the farms where this food comes from through a varied and diverse programs and activities including garden- and farm-based education and the inclusion of fresh, local produce in school meal programs. Farm to School provides a range of benefits from increasing students' consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables (Joshi, Kalb, & Beery, 2006), thereby improving students' nutrition and health, to providing important new markets for small and midscale farmers, creating multiplier effects within regional economies (Kane, Kruse, Markesteyn Ratcliffe, Sobell, & Tessman, 2009; Tuck, Haynes, King, & Pesch, 2010). Yet despite their benefits, Farm to School programs are challenging to implement and sustain, requiring alignment of diverse stakeholders' values, changes in the culture that surrounds school food, and a move away from deeply entrenched, industrial school food systems. Ultimately, Farm to School represents a paradigm shift away from the status quo and towards an environmental and social ethic much like what Thomas Lyson (2004) calls "civic agriculture."This thesis applies data from workshops held in 2010 which employed a method of community-based research and collaborative brainstorming called "power mapping" in order to better understand the potential for expanding Farm to School programs in Yuba County, California. Specifically, I use two case study locations: the county's largest school district, Marysville Joint Unified School District, and the county's smallest school district, Camptonville Elementary School District.Data indicate that there is a high degree of interest in Farm to School within Yuba County, including interest from school food service professionals, local farmers, and county agriculture agencies. Stakeholders interested in Farm to School appear to be relatively informed and sympathetic to enhancing the healthfulness of school food, attributable to national media attention on childhood obesity, food insecurity, and the quality of school meals. Yuba County's location in a rich agricultural region and California's long growing season could facilitate the implementation of Farm to School procurement. Findings indicate that Marysville Joint Unified School District is primed for scaling up its existing Farm to School procurement efforts because it serves fresh produce with every meal, has salad bars at every school in the district, and has the underlying interest from the School Food Service Director that is necessary to support such efforts. Furthermore, expressed interest by Cooperative Extension and the Yuba Sutter Farm Bureau can facilitate relationships with local farmers.Findings also indicate that Camptonville Elementary School District is primed for implementing a more comprehensive and integrated Farm to School program, as demonstrated by the flourishing school garden and a significant amount of scratch cooking used within the school lunch program. Demonstrated interest from community members and the school district's Superintendent can facilitate the expansion of current Farm to School activities. This support, combined with the town's culture of independence, self-sufficiency and community-mindedness, position the school district to implement a more comprehensive Farm to School program.

They are all nourishing foods that feature Hawai'i grown and raised ingredients. The book encourages adults to engage children in the entire cooking process: learning about the ingredients, gardening, harvesting, washing, cooking, eating and cleaning. These recipes are designed to keep children, families and teachers healthy, so readers are encouraged to make and eat these recipes often. This book is beautiful and features real foods and plants from Hawai'i.
