This book tells the story of building a campus «learning garden» over a series of cohorts of student teachers and environmental education students. The project began with high ideals, no funding, and a strong desire to do something about the environment: the result was a transformation in attitude toward nature, community and toward the learning process itself. Examining the process through three key metaphors - garden as environment, garden as community, garden as transformation - this book provides a bridge between theory and practice for ecology-centered teaching and learning.

Offering a fresh approach to bringing life to schools and schools to life, this book goes beyond touting the benefits of learning gardens to survey them as a whole-systems design solution with potential to address myriad interrelated social, ecological, and educational issues. The theoretical and conceptual framework presented creatively places soil at the center of the discourse on sustainability education and learning garden design and pedagogy. Seven elements and attributes of living soil and learning gardens are presented as a guide for sustainability education: cultivating a sense of place; fostering curiosity and wonder; discovering rhythm and scale; valuing biocultural diversity; embracing practical experience ; nurturing interconnectedness. The living soil of learning gardens forms the basis of a new metaphoric language serving to contest dominant mechanistic metaphors presently influencing educational discourse. Student voices and examples from urban schools provide practical understanding of how bringing life to schools can indeed bring schools to life.

This book critically assesses the role of agrobiodiversity in school gardens and its contribution to diversifying diets, promoting healthy eating habits and improving nutrition among schoolchildren as well as other benefits relating to climate change adaptation, ecoliteracy and greening school spaces. Many schoolchildren suffer from various forms of malnutrition and it is important to address their nutritional status given the effects it has on their health, cognition, and subsequently their educational achievement. Schools are recognized as excellent platforms for promoting lifelong healthy eating and improving long-term, sustainable nutrition security required for optimum educational outcomes. This book reveals the multiple benefits of school gardens for improving nutrition and education for children and their families. It examines issues such as school feeding, community food production, school gardening, nutritional education and the promotion of agrobiodiversity, and draws on international case studies, from both developed and developing nations, to provide a comprehensive global assessment. This book will be essential reading for those interested in promoting agrobiodiversity, sustainable nutrition and healthy eating habits in schools and public institutions more generally. It identifies recurring and emerging issues, establishes best practices, identifies key criteria for success and advises on strategies for scaling up and scaling out elements to improve the uptake of school gardens.

This text is relevant for members of faculties of education such as administers, directors of teacher education programs, teacher educators (for pre-service and/or inservice teachers), and teacher candidates. There is also a potential appeal to professors in higher education institutions as integration practices can be adapted to meet the requirements across disciplines. K-12 classroom-based teachers may find this text useful as a source for content-based learning either from disciplinary or cross-disciplinary practice as well as individuals serving in an educational capacity in community-based settings, for instance. Parts of this work have already been presented in both US and Canadian based conferences such as the American Educational Research Association and the Canadian Society for the Study of Education and serve as optimal venues to reach the academic market. Advertising in publications geared towards providing practical articles could also serve a way to reach classroom based and community-based educators. ENDORSEMENTS: "Everybody needs to eat! Unfortunately, too many communities live food insecure and to not address this in our education system is a massive problem. Valeri, in the book Educating about/for Food Security through Environmental Education, offers brilliant insight through the study of integrating food security into teacher education. In doing so, Valeri shares the importance of language, and specifically root metaphors, in addressing food security as a deep cultural problem rather than one of natural occurrence and this book highlights generative ways to not only address food security in teacher education, but also to prepare teachers that feel empowered to make very real material changes in their classrooms and communities." John Lupinacci, Washington State University "In light of climate change and the impacts it will inevitably have on food production/distribution, "Educating about/for food security through EE" is an important study examining the intersections of teacher education, food security, and sustainability. Examining ways in which educators and researchers ought to integrate food security into classrooms, while also examining the cultural causes of systemic inequity, this book is important for teacher educators who are interested in further incorporating food security and suitability into their classrooms."

In The Nature-Study Idea, Liberty Hyde Bailey articulated the essence of a social movement, led by ordinary public-school teachers, that lifted education out of the classroom and placed it into firsthand contact with the natural world. The aim was simple but revolutionary: sympathy with nature to increase the joy of living and foster stewardship of the earth. With this definitive edition, John Linstrom reintroduces The Nature-Study Idea as an environmental classic for our time. It provides historical context through a wealth of related writings, and introductory essays relate Bailey's vision to current work in education and the intersection of climate change and culture. In this period of planetary turmoil, Bailey's ambition to cultivate wonder (in adults as well as children) and lead readers back into the natural world is more important than ever.
