Golden Bridges School is Revolutionizing Food Education by Bringing the Farm to the Classroom

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Jenna Frank from the Golden Bridges School. Get ready to be inspired as we discuss the importance of connecting children to their food and the natural world. Jenna shares her own journey and how it led her to become a Land Stewart at the urban educational farm. We also explore how Golden Bridges School integrates food education into its curriculum, from farming classes to cooking sessions. Discover the impact this approach has on the student's overall wellness and its potential to address issues like childhood obesity and diabetes.

Join us as we dive deep into the world of food education and uncover ways to create a school environment where every student can thrive. Let's become food-educated together.
