| { via lexicon of sustainability } FIVE PRINCIPLES FOR AN EDIBLE EDUCATIONby Alice Waters I | FOOD IS AN ACADEMIC SUBJECT Ecology and gastronomy bringing alive every subject from reading and writing to science and art. II | SCHOOL PROVIDES LUNCH FOR EVERY CHILD Good food is a right, not a privilege. It brings children into a positive relationship with their health, community and environment. III | SCHOOLS SUPPORT FARMS Cafeterias buy fresh food from local farms, not only for reasons of health, but to strengthen local food economies. IV | CHILDREN LEARN BY DOING Children work in the vegetable beds and on the cutting boards to awaken their senses and open their minds, both to their core academic subjects and to the world around them. V | BEAUTY IS THE LANGUAGE A beautifully prepared environment where deliberate thought has gone into everything from the paths to the plates on the tables, communicates to the children that we care about them. :: |
