Food ED

Food ED is a small non-profit organization based in Monrovia, California, with a team of three employees. The organization generates an annual revenue of $2.5 million. Food ED focuses on creating impactful edible education sites within communities and schools. Their programs center around ecosystem stewardship, healthy living, and environmental innovation and entrepreneurship. Rather than simply focusing on growing food, Food ED aims to utilize gardens as platforms for community building, problem-solving, and environmental responsibility. They work with partners to reimagine school and community gardens, incorporating holistic learning, STEAM education, and innovative entrepreneurship programs across K-12 education. Recognizing the importance of community engagement, Food ED opens its gardens to families and community members. These individuals can participate in gardening, nature, and cooking workshops, fostering environmental stewardship, eco-justice, and healthy living practices.
