This paper describes a scheme in which the production of food and the provision of a well-balanced diet became an integral part of the educational programme at a Senior Secondary Girl's Boarding School in Uganda. An account is given of the development of the school farm including crop and livestock enterprises. The part played by the girls in the day-to-day running of the various units of the farm is explained. The way in which the school diet was improved and nutrition education was given greater emphasis in the school curriculum, is described. The strength of the Farm-Diet Scheme was the integration of good farming practice and sound nutrition education with the formal pattern of secondary education. The follow-up project describes the way in which a preliminary assessment of the value of the scheme, was made. Women are predominantly the food crop farmers in Uganda and are largely responsible for the health and well-being of the family. A scheme of this nature has far reaching effects upon the community through girls who during their formal secondary education had their horizons widened regarding the importance of agriculture and nutrition in relation to good health.
本文描述了一个方案,在乌干达的一所女子高中寄宿学校,食物生产和提供均衡饮食成为教育计划的一个组成部分。文中介绍了学校农场的发展情况,包括作物种植和畜牧企业。解释了女生在农场各个部门日常运营中所发挥的作用。描述了学校饮食得到改善以及学校课程中更加重视营养教育的方式。农场-饮食方案的优势在于将良好的农业实践和合理的营养教育与中等教育的正规模式相结合。后续项目描述了对该方案价值进行初步评估的方式。在乌干达,女性主要是粮食作物种植者,并且在很大程度上负责家庭的健康和幸福。这样一个性质的方案通过女孩们对社区产生深远影响,这些女孩在接受正规中等教育期间,对农业和营养与健康的重要性有了更广阔的视野。
