    Edible Kitchen Sustainability Programming Begins This Week 🌎🌱

    We’re excited to kick off our 4-Week Sustainability Program as part of Foodstream LEARN’s Edible Kitchen foodstream LEARN’s hands-on climate and food systems education program.

    This cycle, 17 NYC Public Schools have chosen Foodstream LEARN as their Food, Nutrition & Sustainability partner.

    Through Edible Kitchen, students will:

    🌱 Plant and grow

    πŸ₯— Prepare plant-forward meals

    ♻️ Explore food waste solutions

    🌎 Connect everyday food choices to climate action

    No kitchen or garden required – just curiosity and participation.

    Across the next four weeks, schools will move from seed to plate to Climate Action Day, building toward one clear, student-supported action for Earth Day.

    This isn’t 17 separate programs, it’s one coordinated citywide cohort.

    Progress, insights, and impact will be shared right here on Foodstream Network.

    A big welcome to all participating schools, teachers, and Sustainability Coordinators.

    Let’s grow something meaningful together. 🌱✨

    Edible Kitchen – Week 1: Planting Seeds & Learning Sustainability (NYC D75)

    Foodstream launched our Sustainability Program 2026 this week across 20 NYCPS (it’s a four-day-per-week program)β€”here is a little video from Q23 yesterday (one of our D75 schools).

    Session 1 of Edible Kitchen complete! 🌱

    Students explored plant vocabulary using visual boards, planted seeds, watered trays, and learned how soil holds water using an expanding soil disk.

    Hands-on sensory learning kept students highly engaged, and our Exit Ticket helped confirm key concepts were understood.
