Landed Learning
The Intergenerational Landed Learning on the Farm Project is a unique initiative of the Department of Curriculum Studies, Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, that brings together children, educators, and retired local farmers to explore how participation in a farming/gardening project on an urban farm can foster environmental consciousness, respect for nature, and an understanding of food-land issues.
Through this project we are investigating the ways young people develop a better understanding and appreciation for the land and learn how to care for the earth through working with the soil and growing plants in an apprentice type relationship with community farmers who model environmentally responsible practices.
