How school gardens in the Philippines are fighting child hunger and teaching kids to grow food with Jon from the SEED project
In this episode, Filipino urban farmer Jonathan Libag shares how school gardens and tiny community plots are improving kids' nutrition and sparking a new generation of growers across the Philippines.
In the Philippines, every public school is required to run a vegetable garden and kids, teachers, and parents all get their hands dirty.
A 30-square-meter garden in a squatter community now supplies meals to a local preschool, helping underweight children gain weight through fresh greens.
While digital farming games can teach tools and timing, Jonathan insists that real learning starts when kids touch the soil and see their vegetables grow slowly, not instantly.
