Urban Farm DB summary

A pilot study is planned at St. Francis School in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada — one of the few school gardens in the province and a greenhouse program described as a unique example of innovation in health, environment, agriculture, and education. Key informant interviews with parents, teachers, and community leaders involved in or interested in the project are planned, aiming to investigate the program's start and evolution, analyze facilitators and deterrents to keeping it running, identify its benefits, and identify key aspects for maintaining sustainability.
