Most youth are physically and psychological distanced from
our food origins – an unfortunate fact, considering that they
depend on it to nourish their bodies and minds! Many of us
are trying to fill this gap by providing hands-on gardening
experiences, and there’s a new resource to help us in this
quest. The LiFE curriculum series was created by Teachers College
Columbia University to give upper elementary and middle school
students a in-depth view and experience of food systems. Learn
more about the creation of the inquiry-based curriculum and
check out a sample lesson in this month's Teachers' Room!
