School Gardens Feed Jamaica

Description

Jamaica’s National School Gardens Project exploded in its second year, with 56 schools—up from 23 in 2024—showcasing vibrant school gardens that are feeding kids, boosting nutrition, and sparking entrepreneurial creativity. From fresh produce in school canteens to homemade juices and vegetable pizzas, students are turning green thumbs into business ideas. Even infant and special education schools joined in, backed by a $10 million annual Ministry commitment and partnerships with HEART and Sagicor. Region Six won top honors, and the momentum is building—this isn’t just about healthy eating, it’s about building a more food-secure, innovative future for every child.
