Excerpt:
“Eats, Shoots & Roots”, a social enterprise dedicated to empowering urban communities through edible gardening, is fostering a love for growing food among kids in kindergartens and primary schools.
“At first, we aimed at city-dwelling adults. But over time, parents wanting to feed their kids healthier, organic fare reached out to us.
“That’s one of the factors that pushed us into having more children’s programmes,” said Low Shao-Lyn, the social enterprise’s co-founder and design director.
Since 2018, they have been working with kids in six preschools, five primary schools, and five training institutions where edible gardens are being cultivated in the schools’ compounds under the “Sayur In The City: School Programme”.
Students, equipped with growing kits, plant vegetables under the watchful eyes of their teachers who are provided with teaching guides.
“Also, if we really want to make a change in the country’s environment, it’s important that kids learn from a young age to appreciate nature and learn where different vegetables come from. It’s the children who have to make good decisions in the future,” she added.
The social enterprise’s roots go back to the “Embun Pagi” permaculture project in Batu Arang, Gombak, initiated by Sabina Arokiam and Juergen Soecknick in 2010.
