Abstract
This presentation provides information regarding the concept and workings of scaling up a school nutrition model, integrating bio-intensive school gardens at the local level with support from national agencies, the Department of Education, as well as donor organizations. Lighthouse Schools (LS) play a central role in scaling out the Integrated School Nutrition Model at the local/ district level in the Philippines. LS initiate or organize at district level hands-on training and seed exchange events. Schools serve as custodians of biodiversity heritage as well as community seed banks. Slide images illustrate the integrated approach towards improved child nutrition and community health.
