Baton Rouge, La.
– On June 3, 2019, 35 students entered The Sustainable Agriculture and Rural
Development Institute (SARDI) to begin a four-week healthy living themed summer
program.
The goal of the
program is to improve the health, safety, development, and well-being of
adolescents and young adults within the community.
One of the main
highlights of the program was the four-week-long Food Truck Challenge that was
designed to encourage the students to prepare their own healthy meals while
learning about entrepreneurial skills in the process. The Food Truck Challenge
required the groups of students to create themes, marketing plans, menus, and
designs with a healthy twist in mind. Each group was also tasked with preparing
and serving different types of foods from their menus to their peers to enhance
their knowledge of kitchen etiquette and safety, teamwork, and customer
service.
Some of the
other highlights of the program included activities that were based on the
MyPlate food guide, gardening, physical activity, and
recreational/discretionary time.
