With the support of Vermont FEED and Food Connects, Dummerston School wove new farm to school elements into their existing frameworks, creating food systems learning for the entire school community, spanning kindergarten through eighth grade.

Climate and food systems are inherently interdisciplinary, affecting every aspect of life around the world. How can we educators support youth who are grappling with these massive issues?

As part of our  2022–23 Northeast Farm to School Institute, SubjectToClimate, Food Connects, and the Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools hosted a workshop to explore the intersection of climate and food, showcase youth leaders’ voices, and introduce resources for K-12 educators.

Looking for an inspiring conference? February 27–March 1, Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools staff will be in New Orleans participating in the Green Schools Conference, a gathering of interdisciplinary professionals who make green schools a reality. Session topics include reducing waste and improving districtwide partnerships. Register today!
