The production of fruits and vegetables in the school garden and the subsequent preparation of healthy in close cooperation with the parents within the school premises can address the he health and nutrition problems in the school. But the greater problem of malnutrition, especially among children is that it ultimately leads to stunted mental and physical growth, poor comprehension and lower performance in school. According to the teachers many children come to school with an empty stomach. Hungry, unhealthy children cannot concentrate on learning. The vegetables that were being harvested were sold to the community and others were used in the Free Feeding Program and through this program, our pupils became healthier, attentive and they are performing better in school. Pupils not only learned how to reproduce vegetables but they were encouraged to eat green and leafy vegetables as well. So, vegetable production through Elementary Agriculture must be given emphasis.
