- Abstract
- Garden-based education is a powerful tool for addressing the limited nutrition knowledge and environmental awareness that exists among children. School gardens are particularly influential in educating the urban youth, who are more likely to be disconnected from green space and food growing activities. However, the lack of available and affordable space in cities is a major barrier for building out these programs. This thesis analyzes how garden-based learning programs may fit in with the current trend towards growing on rooftops in order to overcome the space barrier and educate more urban children.
