About Us

The Foundation for Healthy Schools facilitates the integration of customized, sustainable, and state-of-the-art cultivation applications into communities. The beneficiaries are the: governments setting the curriculums; the school boards implementing those curriculum studies; industry supporting and investing in these cultivation models; the communities connecting to a common goal to support the mission of a healthier child, family, society, and nation; AND, the schools improving their offerings to the satisfaction of teachers and parents wanting a healthy, happy child set up for health successes for life. Based on need, and support, customization offers a residual opportunity to produce fresh locally sourced produce at scale that will unite the community, while encouraging improved school lunch and community health programs for healthier kids and families where the emphasis of health change must reside.

Our Mission

Cultivating and empowering children's health through nutrition, knowledge, and nature.

We accomplish this mission through:

  • Designing community and or school-specific, customizable regenerative and sustainable cultivation systems that maximize healthy, fresh, flavorful, nutrient-rich whole food produce that is lacking in most dietary intakes to create a sickness model of healthcare.

  • With an emphasis on the children as the future of your family and our nation, we engage community, regional, and national stakeholders to design and build state-of-the-art cultivation facilities used by the schools (K-12 and post-secondary institutions) and communities to cultivate fresh produce at a scale capable of feeding the many versus the few.

  • Introduce a robust educational infrastructure that can allow people and their families (coming from different cultures, backgrounds, knowledge, and opinions) to unite under the health mandate focused on a healthy human on human purpose.

  • (Re)connect to the life that gives life which will allow those operating within this infrastructure an ability to find the source to healthier ways of living, thinking, being, acting, and doing - on "human purpose".

  • Producing enough food in a school or community using cultivation innovations that will allow for considerable amounts of food to be produced. This is due to the cultivation innovations that can be introduced to feed more people, fresher, more flavorful, and nutrient-rich produce, in a day or two versus several days along existing supply chains that erode the flavor, freshness, and nutrient values contributing to a 30+% food waste problem.

  • Begin establishing regional food production models that will not only strengthen communities and offer new employments, but also use these models to scale, improving food security for a nation of people.

  • Develop relationships with existing food industry companies and stakeholders that will improve the quality of their offerings including school lunch programs, to evolve their business operations to compliment the needs of a healthy child, human, and society.

  • Introduce food models at scale to address the escalating food costs impacting household budgets spend on eating, well.

  • Either at the school or community level, offering a teaching environment within these cultivation models, to improve the academic performance and STEM subject matter teaching retention by improving focus, behavior, and overall wellness through better nutrition and health for our children (the future of a nation).

  • Fostering stewardship and sustainable habits by teaching students the value of respecting the land, growing their own food, and understanding where their food comes from.

  • Partnering with other programs, local businesses and industry connected to include the entire community in supporting real foods and healthy nutrition.

  • Working with other nonprofits and partners to source all the other elements of school meals (meats, dairy, etc.) at the highest level possible.

  • Connecting with all key stakeholders to ensure the best possible outcomes for schools, teachers, parents, students, families, communities, investors, and a nation of people that becomes the ultimate beneficiary.
