Sustainable nutrition

From the implementation of our project, we learned about healthy eating and thought about the production of food. We made our first attempts at growing our own backyard. We learned the technique of farming and how people used to prepare the land in the old days and how they do it today. We compared and informed parents. We made a school garden. We sowed wheat. We planted seasonal vegetables. We watched them grow. We learned from a farmer. We experimented by growing in pots with different conditions in terms of soil, watering, lighting. We came to conclusions. We were informed by an agronomist, sowed seeds and planted seasonal vegetables with his help. We found out the origin of the foods that are not grown at this time of year in our country. We adopted the weekly food plan of WWF Greece: Monday we eat homemade food-Wednesday we eat fruit at breakfast and Friday we don't throw away food. We implemented composting to reduce organic waste. We continued our observations on plant growth. We tried to incorporate them into our diet with traditional and our own recipes. We defined the criteria for healthy food with a small ecological footprint. We worked with the children and kindergarten teachers of three other kindergartens from different regions of our country. Together we created our poster on sustainable nutrition. We informed parents for our activities. We participated online in the event organised by the Centre for Environmental Education and Sustainability, presenting the project and the group's poster. We updated it on our kindergarten blog.
