Education

From Pre-K to college, students in Florida engage with the food system in new and innovative ways to reduce food waste and protect the local environment. Through these organizations, learners of all ages can engage in innovative projects, learn about community initiatives, and grow in their knowledge of food recovery and sustainability.
