FAO Supports School Gardening Project With Farm Implements

He said, “Puting emphasis on balance diet is the way to go, especially by staring with young people like you and encouraging you to grow vegetables and fruits. So school gardening as a nutrition education can significantly contribute in addressing the nutrition challenges, we want to encourage you for the good work that you at doing already, continue this good work in the school and also when you go back home so that you can be able to teach your parents the importance of healthy diet.

He commended the FCT administration for extending its commitment and collaboration in implementing the project.“And we believe that many other schools will learn from this effort and that this project will be replicated in other schools, this shouldn’t just remain a pilot but should go to other school,” he said.

“We can not only be farming staple crops like rice cassava and yam, this is a project that tend to expose students and the teachers on the importance of the different in our diet. Karima expressed the ministry’s commitment to supporting the school in scaling up and expanding the project.
