Many children have no idea where the food on their plates comes from. Some may say from the grocery store or supermarket... In The Netherlands, school gardens in one form or another have been a feature of school life for over 100 years. The first ones were created at the turn of the twentieth century with the aim of tackling child poverty and in particular poor nutrition. The tradition continues to this day, and while most children no longer suffer from a lack of food, being introduced to a healthy diet remains as relevant as ever. Each child learns how to sow, grow and cook their own food – skills that will last them a lifetime. What better ways is there to fight obesity and and learn about the importance of biodiversity?
