Education
Get the next generation on board
80% of children and 95% of teenagers are not reaching the daily recommended amount of vegetables. Vegetables consumption is in decline and is no better than it was in the 1970s, in spite of the 5-A-Day campaign.
Take action now to get your child care facility, school or university to join Veg Cities.
