Conservation of traditional varieties/species of vegetables through establishment of Kitchen Garden in school campus
Traditional varieties are naturally adapted to local climate and soil conditions, making them more resilient to pests, diseases and changing environmental conditions. By establishing kitchen gardens on school campuses, educational institutions can play a crucial role in conserving traditional vegetable varieties. This initiative fosters a sense of responsibility among students, enriches biodiversity, and ensures that the knowledge of indigenous crops in passed on to future generation.
Beyond conservation, such gardens contribute to nutritious diets for students, sustainable practices and a deeper connection with nature.
