Good nutrition starts with the seed in more ways than one.
While farmers have known for decades that plant breeding can boost levels of important vitamins in fruits and vegetables, innovative educators have found another way seeds can improve health. We believe encouraging youngsters to plant their own gardens provides a lasting lesson in healthy diet and living. Colorado's Seeds for Health formalizes the idea into a complete lesson plan. The Seeds for Health Program is a nutrition education program from the CU Cancer Center and the Center for Human Nutrition. Offered to third-grade classrooms throughout Colorado, Seeds for Health is a free, interesting and fun program designed to encourage children to make healthy eating and lifestyle choices.
