Collaborating with educators, schools, and organizations to expand gut microbiome education.
Feed the Garden Within You believes meaningful change happens through collaboration. We work with educators, schools, school garden organizations, and educational networks to help middle school students understand the connection between food, the gut microbiome, and lifelong health.
Through these collaborations, we are expanding access to evidence-based gut microbiome education while building a growing community of educators committed to improving student health literacy.
