Agro Biodiversity for nutrition security a case of Joy town school

SCOPE Kenya, promotes permaculture practices to support  school communities to redesign their school ground and establish sustainable productive land scape, with food forest and cool micro climate, for enhanced learning, abundance and resilience.

To enhance sustainable solutions to hunger and restoration of degraded land, SCOPE uses a participatory holistic school development approach, which involves working with all schools stakeholders (pupils, teachers, parents/surrounding communities and local leaders) and use local resources for production of healthy safe food,  protect nature and equip learners will life skills for self reliance.

Through this, children from poor, food insecure background are assured of one meal  while in school, resulting to improved health and academic performance.

This also enhnaces soil and water management, waste management and increase in number of tree seedling planted, hence attracting birds, monkeys and insects.
