FEED Project
Mission Statement
FEED is Food-based
Ecological Education Design. FEED empowers youth through food and gardening
to achieve a good life. Towards this end we have a long-term vision where
schools and communities, keeping children at the center, evolve a food
and garden-based pedagogy that promotes:
• Learning gardens
• Community building, from soil to table
• Communal and individual health
• Multi-sensory learning which engages the multiple intelligences
• Intergenerational learning
• Multi-cultural learning
We realize our vision by mobilizing and partnering with a host of social
and institutional actors such as Portland State University, the Food Policy
Council of Multnomah County, Portland Public Schools, and local farmers.
