The production of fruits and vegetables in the school garden and the subsequent
preparation of healthy in close cooperation with the parents within the school premises can
address the he health and nutrition problems in the school. But the greater problem of
malnutrition, especially among children is that it ultimately leads to stunted mental and
physical growth, poor comprehension and lower performance in school. According to the
teachers many children come to school with an empty stomach. Hungry, unhealthy children
cannot concentrate on learning.
The vegetables that were being harvested were sold to the community and others
were used in the Free Feeding Program and through this program, our pupils became
healthier, attentive and they are performing better in school.
Pupils not only learned how to reproduce vegetables but they were encouraged to
eat green and leafy vegetables as well. So, vegetable production through Elementary
Agriculture must be given emphasis.
