Tyler Beckett wants to be a landscaper and the urban farming program on the roof of his inner-city school has greened his thumb. “I like getting involved with the garden and helping the kids in school. “As educators, we see the negative effects of poor eating habits and lack of healthy food literacy among students first hand. (Urban farming) is helping us educate our students about the importance of healthy eating and how to grow and prepare healthy food. It helps change their eating habits, gives them skills and instils in them life-long knowledge to make healthy food choices,” Hill said.
