Food Literacy & Sustainability
This foundational module invites students to explore food beyond the plate. By examining how food is grown, sourced, and distributed, students develop an awareness of their role within a larger system — one that connects farms, families, environments, and cultures.
Garden-to-Table Exploration
Students engage in planting, harvesting, and tending to edible gardens (real or simulated), gaining an appreciation for seasonal, local food and environmental stewardship.
Composting & Food Waste Awareness
Lessons on composting, food waste reduction, and circular economies reinforce sustainability concepts in everyday life.
Food Systems Mapping
Explore the journey food takes from soil to shelf, including conversations around equity, food deserts, and cultural accessibility.
Cultural Food Journeys
Students examine how food reflects identity, family heritage, and migration — fostering respect for diversity and shared traditions.
Culinary Skills & Nutrition Education
This skills-based module empowers students to take agency in the kitchen. Through hands-on lessons, they learn safe cooking techniques, foundational nutrition science, and the joy of preparing balanced, beautiful meals — even on a budget.

Nutrition Science & Meal Design
