  • Pedagogy based on contact with nature to create a drive for learning : growing vegetables !!!  “grow your own food”
  • Based on action, real life projects, learning professional skills
  • Community effect by changing the city block after block : through revitalization / urban farming
  • Kids who were the problem become the heart of the solution
  • Working for marginalized communities
  • It is fun, useful and technology based (for example, growing vegetable without compost) (par exemple, faire pousser des légumes sans terreau)
