A bit about The Kitchen Community:

Our mission at The Kitchen Community is to strengthen community through food. We join communities to accelerate real food culture at scale. That’s why we’ve developed the Learning Garden, an outdoor classroom that support students as they connect to real food through participating in gardening tasks, academic content, and community stewardship. Learning Gardens are 21st century education tools that support a diverse array of students, teachers, and teaching styles.

A bit about The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship:

The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship's mission is to provide programs that inspire young people from low-income communities to stay in school, recognize business opportunities, and plan for successful futures.

Through entrepreneurship, young people discover that what they are learning in the classroom is relevant to the real world. By teaching the entrepreneurial mindset, NFTE provides young people with tools and attitudes to overcome adversity and address future personal, economic, community, and global challenges.

The Design Challenge:

Create a real food business using inspiration from the real food case studies and your Learning Garden. The real food business concept should be centered around being socially responsible and encouraging healthy behaviors, promoting a public service, or fostering community awareness of real food.

Things to keep in mind as you work towards a solution-oriented real food business:

are you creating this business? Is it in service of others and is it socially responsible?

impact will your business have on your community?

will benefit the most from the out comes that stem from your business?

does this business effectively solve social problems?
