Students from Islington schools will sell produce at Chapel Market as part of the 'know your onions' programme by School Food Matters. This initiative spans across seven other schools in Camden, Hackney, and Tower Hamlets. The programme encourages food education beyond primary levels, highlighting the connection between food, health, and the environment. Children engage in growing their own food, visit farms, and participate in cooking classes. The charity aims to improve school food and promote sustainability, encouraging government policy to reflect the views of children, parents, and teachers.
Pupils from three schools in Islington, participating in the 'know your onions' food education programme by School Food Matters, will sell produce at Chapel Market, connecting food with environmental care.
The charity emphasizes the need for ongoing food education beyond primary school, helping children understand their relationship with food and health while fostering sustainable practices.
Stephanie Slater, the charity's founder, stated that the initiative allows children to grow their own food at school, promoting healthy eating habits and understanding of food waste.
