The Edible Schoolyard Project The Original Edible Schoolyard at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School in Berkeley, California Seventeen years ago, Alice Waters was quoted in a local newspaper, claiming that the school she passed every day looked like no one cared about it. Neil Smith, then principal of Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School, contacted Alice with the acre of blighted land on the school's grounds firmly in mind. He wanted her to see the school and perhaps find a way to help. Recognizing the potential of the idea, Zenobia Barlow and the Center for Ecoliteracy provided funding for the Edible Schoolyard Berkeley's (ESY Berkeley) first full-time garden director, David Hawkins. In the fall of our third year, the kitchen became a reality. Many of the school’s teachers, increasingly comfortable with hands-on learning, collaborated with David and Esther to generate garden and kitchen lessons linked to classroom studies. As the garden grew so did the program. Chez Panisse Foundation School Lunch Initiative
Orthopaedic Outreach Radical Social Entrepreneurs This site is about helping turn social entrepreneurs into radical social entrepreneurs. To learn more about each, check out our page “What is radical social entrepreneurship?” It’s simple. Technology is moving quickly, but our social systems — governance, law, community, education and culture — are not keeping pace. Apps, gadgets, and innovative tech are wonderful — but they will not solve the major problems of our time. We need radical innovation in law, education, community, culture, and governance. Anyone with a curious mind and a heart for good can become a radical social entrepreneur. Join us in going radical.
