New Earth Kids: San Lorenzo & Hurley Elementary Schools Journey Through the Food System

Host Nan Franzblau accompanies students as they discover where food comes from and apply this knowledge to their own experiences.  Beginning with the creation of soil, the sprouting of seeds and the water cycle that nourishes those seeds, students learn how plants grow, make more seeds, provide food, and how that food gets from the fields to our forks.  Representatives from several local non-profits help guide the young participants, who reflect on how to make healthy choices regarding sugar intake, homegrown or local vs. factory farmed produce, and the importance of consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables.
