    It seems with the growing popularity of school gardens at least a portion of the food being served on campuses would be from those gardens. No travel time means a smaller carbon footprint and more nutrients. Gardeners would know exactly what pesticides/ herbicides/ fertilizers are being used. Canning and food preparation could also be an extra curricular course, teaching children how to make healthy meals and be food independent.
