Cultivating Community: A Training Manual to Engage with Diversity in Community Food Systems
Today’s community food systems, including school and community gardens, horticultural therapy programs, and urban agriculture education NGOs, are richly complex. Working within these systems, staff and students will help individuals from a range of backgrounds combine their strengths to achieve the common goal of food production. This manual includes group activities, roleplaying exercises, and prompts for discussions that will increase community instructors’ confidence and improve their teaching skills. We will briefly explore diversity concepts, discuss cultural differences, and practice community education engagement strategies, all within the context of food systems.
