Conservation agriculture
A teaching plot on school grounds, run by students through a full season. The harvest goes to the school kitchen, and the measurements go into their coursework.
Schools already have land, students and a reason to grow food. What they usually lack is a plot run as a proper experiment.
Two matched beds on school grounds, one conventional and one under conservation practice, measured by the students themselves across a season.
Students take the practice home. In every training group we run, the participants who adopt fastest are the ones who saw the practice work somewhere before we arrived.

A practical training series on better agricultural practice: ridging, spacing, mulching and compost. Farmers opened the furrows themselves on the demonstration plot rather than watching someone else do it.
