School Gardens for Food Security in Jamaica
Channel: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Date: 2022-02-01

FAO in collaboration with the Jamaica 4-H Clubs is supporting some schools to rehabilitate and improve their school gardens. Since the onset of COVID-19, many schools have remained closed and students have not benefitted from the provision of school meals. Under the Home Grown School Feeding Programme, FAO Jamaica and the Jamaica 4-H Clubs are linking school meal programmes to local food production. Schools like the Newell High School in St Elizabeth, Jamaica, continue to ensure that their school gardens remain active and can provide students and communities with local produce at no cost. By helping these schools, we can ensure that students and community members remain food secure and are able to access locally grown food and promote healthier diets.
