The aim of this review is to draw together some of the published evidence so that it can be used to support decision making and to encourage health professionals to actively use gardening and food growing as part of the health care service provision.

The Zero Waste and Healthy Lunch Box

This educational project helps students and their parents learn about how to eat healthy foods, protect the environment and save money! This program is set out for the Francophone and Anglophone primary schools of northwestern New Brunswick, but we encourage everyone from all over the world to consult our vast array of online resources and start packing a zero-waste and healthy lunch box and snack today.

In order to provide primary school teachers with educational and interactive resources, an online educational kit was developed. Its content targets several Specific Curriculum Outcomes (SCOs) of study programs established by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. This website features fun and dynamic educational videos in its “Animation Corner”, suggestions of activities in its “Activities Corner”, as well as promotional tools such as posters, banners and promotional items in its “Resources Corner”.
