Chair of Garden Based Nutrition Education Initiative:

The Northcoast Nutrition and Fitness Collaborative (NNFC) has a goal of increasing access and use of healthy foods and physical activity for all people in Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma counties. In order to reach this goal, the Collaborative considered several different possibilities for reaching people in the varied communities across the different counties. With the wealth of experience and goals of increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity, Collaborative members decided to compile instructional lessons that included experiential learning strategies that were already being used successfully. These lessons integrate hands on food preparation and garden enhanced nutrition education into schools, community organizations, religious institutions, and other agencies working with low-income community members.
