Description
You'll participate in the ecological cycle of food production -- compost formation -- recycling back to the soil, while helping children understand how their food choices affect not only their own health, but farmers, the environment, and your local community. Suggested resources encourage you to adapt the program to your needs, small scale or large, urban or rural. Handy extension activities demonstrate ways that students can help effect change in their own lives and communities. Background information, suggested readily available materials, and clear instructions give you enough guidance to integrate these hands-on activities into your classroom right away.
