So in order to attempt some of this, lets see if we can lobby the Dept of Education to include it at any level of education, be it elementary schools or high schools. Or both, as what you suggest, in every classroom, perhaps right beside the image of what a balanced diet includes... (

I definitely support teaching kids how to grow food, beginning to end, in all elementary schools, and as perhaps an elective in high school, available all 4 years of HS! A food forest in the cities isn't always an easy do, but very doable in the more rural parts of the country, and world!! In kindergarten, my 3 kids all did the bean or sunflower in the plastic cup placed in a classroom window. That is a great place to start, simple, wonderous, introductory!
Anyone else feel this learning about where food comes from to be important? Necessary?
