The Nestlé Healthy Kids Global Programme
aims to increase nutrition and health
knowledge and to promote physical activity
among school-age children around the world.
Nestlé Healthy Kids local programmes are
implemented in many countries around the
world. They are based on multi-stakeholder
approaches, working with partners such
as national and local governments, NGOs,
nutrition health institutes and sport federations.
This brochure has been produced by the
Nestlé Healthy Kids Global Programme for
distribution to teachers and parents. It is a
simple and useful guide that explains how
everyone can grow their own vegetables,
whether small-scale, for home or classroom
observation purposes, or large-scale,
to help feed a local community.
The original version of this booklet was
developed by Nestlé Ecuador: the Healthy
Kids programme in Ecuador was the first
to promote gardening as a means for
encouraging vegetable and fruit consumption
while developing environmental awareness.
This programme offers workshops on organic
gardening and how to implement them in
educational centres.
