✦AI Summary
A pilot project in Kenya is integrating school farms into the curriculum to improve student nutrition and food security in arid regions. By growing drought-tolerant crops, schools are diversifying meals and providing practical agricultural training to the community.
At Inaarok Lukuny Comprehensive School in Kenya’s Kajiado County, pupil enrolment has more than doubled over the past year, rising from 240 to more than 525 children. The head teacher attributes much of that growth to a simple change: access to more nutritious school meals.
