Education

One of the primary missions of our organization is agriculture education. We believe in the importance for all people to know where their food is grown. We also believe a child should be given this opportunity at a young age so that they will grow up curious about eating healthy, nutritious food. The Seed Project Foundation formed a partnership with the McKinney Independent School District (MISD) to enhance the agricultural and nutritional education of the district’s second graders. In cooperation with the MISD’s curriculum department, a two-step program was developed that enhances classroom instruction around plant life cycles, nutrition, and agriculture. The students have hands-on learning experiences by planting seeds, harvesting vegetables, and collecting chicken eggs. The experience provides equal learning opportunities to MISD’s 21 elementary schools and approximately 1600 students.
