Visi\u00f3n:\u00a0<\/strong>Sustainable and equitable support of school garden programs across Arlington County<\/em>.

School gardens are an important component of our community\u2019s urban agriculture landscape. School gardens provide teaching opportunities for students, hands-on learning experiences, nutritious produce for consumption in classrooms and lunchrooms, and provide much needed fresh produce to school community families and local food pantries. School garden programs develop students’ appreciation of \u201cwhere their food comes from\u201d and develop life-long skills they can use to grow their own food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that led to the closure of schools and a dramatic increase in families experiencing economic hardship and food insecurity, FOUA provided direct support to four school gardens during the school closure with the goal of increasing production to donate fresh produce to local food pantries. FOUA worked in partnership with school garden coordinators, Master Gardeners and Virginia Cooperative Extension to transform four classroom instruction gardens at Hoffman-Boston Elementary, Wakefield High School, Thomas Jefferson Middle School, and Tuckahoe Elementary into scalable \u2018urban farm\u2019 sites to support our Arlington community\u2019s food insecure neighbors. M\u00e1s de 1,588 libras de productos frescos de estos sitios de Victory Garden 2020 se distribuyeron a despensas de alimentos en todo el condado. <\/strong>Lee mas: FOUA Informe final del Jard\u00edn de la Victoria 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2021 comenz\u00f3 con el traspaso oficial del Complot contra el Hambre<\/a> program to FOUA from AFAC, and the gradual reopening of schools. FOUA\u2019s efforts with school gardens shifted to more long-term goals and away from the urgent and immediate needs presented during the pandemic. FOUA is working in partnership with Virginia Cooperative Extension, Master Gardeners, Marymount University, and the Arlington Iniciativa Patios Escolares Vivos<\/a> to provide technical assistance and other support, and to build a network of school garden programs to cultivate community, peer to peer connections, and opportunity for long-term strategic planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
