Food Forests for Schools

The Education Fund Food Forests for Schools program goes far beyond traditional school gardening initiatives. Our work contributes to peer-reviewed scientific research that advances understanding of educational innovation, environmental sustainability, and student outcomes on a global scale.

Through rigorous data collection and academic partnerships, we've documented measurable impacts on student achievement, environmental awareness, and community engagement across Miami-Dade County Public Schools. These published research papers provide evidence-based insights that educators, researchers, and policymakers worldwide use to inform their own programs and initiatives.

These scientific publications establish The Education Fund as a leader in educational research, demonstrating that our Food Forests for Schools program creates lasting, measurable change. We're not simply planting gardens – we're cultivating knowledge that shapes the future of experiential learning and environmental education.

Our commitment to scientific rigor ensures that every Food Forest installation contributes valuable data to the broader academic community, positioning Miami-Dade County Public Schools and The Education Fund at the forefront of innovative educational research.
