MISSION

We are dedicated to cultivating education for the sustainability of people and the planet.

VISION

We envision a world where all students experience and understand how nature sustains life and are inspired to live in ways that benefit people and the environment.

All schools can do this by committing to cultivating ecological literacy through transformational experiences in the cafeteria, classroom, and garden that educate students about the food system and its connection to the environment.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY AND RACIAL JUSTICE

We pursue change in K-12 education and school food systems to provide a more just, sustainable, and equitable experience for our children and the people who nourish them. 

We recognize the harm that systemic racism, gender bias, and structural inequalities create in our public education, food, and labor systems, and strive to mitigate the health and educational inequities affecting low-income households and children of color. We amplify the voices of people that have been historically marginalized, and shape our work according to their messages. By listening and taking action to identify and include missing voices, we seek to shift power in both policy and decision-making. We are privileged to learn from our partners and will continue to grow and evolve our work to embody this commitment.
