London’s Vital Signs
For the past 13+ years Growing Chefs! has worked directly with over 40,000 children, youth and families, in over one hundred schools and dozens of local organizations, to help educate Londoners about food, food systems and how to develop the tools, strategies, skills and drive to make healthy change in their lives.
In that time, we have learned that food is intensely personal and everyone faces different barriers in terms of making positive changes in their daily diets.
