[...] think the Salad Bowls would be a great way to get kids excited about greens. Kids definitely are more likely to eat their veggies if they grew them [...]

First of all, I want to say that as a former teacher, I know how difficult it is to get faculty in staff in unity on a project of this scale. So my kudos to the UK for having such great success in implementing that program.

ITA that kids should be involved in growing their own food (adults, too, a-hem) from as young an age as possible. This coming year, my 3yo DS will have his own square in the garden to grow a few veggies. He will learn the importance of watering, handling plants gently, and maybe even looking out for pests.

A woman in our community started a similar study/project years ago ,with the same findings and used our school as the pilot programming.Now the program is being used in other schools,too. Here’s her organization: http://www.foodstudies.org/

Our school is now building a greenhouse & outdoor garden to service the cafeteria. They already have a small garden for curriculum integration but this one will be larger scale.

Our school also composts & uses the compostable silverware & dishes (made from cornstarch). Then of course the compost is used on the gardens
