Students at Charter Oak International Academy elementary school, Conard High School and the STRIVE program are helping to build a sustainable food program through grants which feature the EvanLEE 4-tier Indoor Growing System (IGS) which adds a new dimension to the "Farm-to-School" food movement. The IGS is a student-led, authentic learning experience, which builds excitement and brings fresh and healthy vegetables to the cafeteria while strengthening the connection to the land/soil as the building block for all living things. This hyper-local food movement presents many opportunities for hands-on learning and greater cultural understanding as students explore the origins of sustainable food movements which can be found all across the globe.
