Houston ISD’s farm to school efforts go beyond the tray with their Food and Agriculture Literacy program. Learn how HISD developed an idea into a comprehensive farm to school program. HISD’s School District’s Food and Agriculture Literacy Program aims to help students have more than a consumer relationship with food. The program provides an experiential education program at the Food and Agriculture Literacy Center at Mykawa Farm as well as provides nutrition and culinary education at schools. Student’s comprehensive knowledge of food is developed through a blend of horticulture, science, culinary and nutrition education.
