It aims at assisting a target rural middle school and the local community to develop and implement a sustainable school feeding program supported by a garden. The students will be trained in gardening using local expertise to develop and maintain the school garden that will provide local healthy vegetables and other inputs to the canteen. The students will also be introduced to entrepreneurship and agro-biodiversity as well.
