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.
