Edible Schoolyard Project Executive Director Angela McKee-Brown Featured on the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian
The Edible Schoolyard Project's Executive Director, Angela McKee-Brown, is the featured guest on the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian this week. The show is hosted by Shegerian, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of ERI, the nation's leading fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company.
The Edible Schoolyard Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the transformation of public education by using organic school gardens, kitchens, and cafeterias to teach both academic subjects and the values of nourishment, stewardship, and community.
McKee-Brown shared how edible education provides hands-on experiences that connect students to food, nature, and each other; and it systematically addresses the crises of climate change, public health, and social inequality.
"Thanks so much for having me on the Impact Podcast," said McKee-Brown. "Talking with John Shegerian made for an absolutely fantastic conversation and I really appreciated all of the thoughtful questions."
"It was an honor to have Angela on our show," said Shegerian. "Her important work with the Edible Schoolyard Project is helping to drive home the impactful mission to enhance public education through children's relationship with food and food production. The Edible Schoolyard Project at its heart is a dynamic and joyful learning experience for every child and I'm excited to share the work Angela and her team are doing."
