What began as a small project in a neglected schoolyard in California has grown into an international movement that teaches children about food, gardening and the environment. The Edible Schoolyard Project was founded in 1995 by chef and food activist Alice Waters. Today, it connects more than 5,800 garden and food education programmes across 75 countries and 53 US states and territories. According to the Edible Schoolyard Network registry, the project has grown from a single school garden in Berkeley, California, into a worldwide network of school gardens, classrooms and food education programmes.
