The Story so Far
Food grows from soil. Everyone must at least understand that the soil beneath our feet holds the future to our existence. Respecting how soil works has never been more important.
Agriculture and distribution of âFoodâ around the world now requires a level additives and chemicals that has rendered âfoodâ tasteless and void of nutrition.
Children are growing up with little or no immune system and have developed obesity to a point that the current hunger generation is predicted, for the first time in human history to have a lower life expectancy than their parents.
The Why
Giving everyone a licence to learn and look after their land

Standpoint, Bearings,
Momentum
Origins
If one litre of soil grows one plant Imagine 50 litres

Legalities, Limitations,
Lows
Ethics
Together we can grow whatever we choose and eat every plant

Language
Everything smells so nice and it all tastes so much better
Only farmers and their families really get to work with the wonders of plants in nature.
The rest of us have little or no knowledge of how to grow food for ourselves to eat. The time for knowing how to grow our own food is starting to return as a necessity.
Because the globalised low nutritious food, unaffordable system of food production is delivering with extortionate consumption and huge wastage, we have to create a new choice!
The What
A unique fascination programme learning everything from soil about our food

Learning
The closer I look the more I see the magic inside
Every VEGeTABLE is uniquely designed for seriously fun food learning so that all children in a pre primary class each have an ongoing weekly responsibility for just 50 Litres of soil.
VEGeTABLES have created a simple, ethical, logical introduction to the world of soil and the way it grows our food so that pre primary children can enjoy the fun of exploring and discovering every day with the plants and soil animals that make our life possible.
Understanding how the rain and sun work together all around the world to help to feed our food. How the hot and the cold weather makes our food strong and how it only needs a few inches of soil to become super food.
The How
Registering growers creating farmers of the future connecting at primary level

Lets share what we have discovered with everyone around the world.

Consumption
Now I know why I have five fingers on each hand.
Each child enjoys the simple tasks and skills of being a real farmer. Making a note of the weather whilst keeping the soil, seeds, seedlings and plants each child learns all about where our food really comes from - the ground beneath our feet.
Every 50 litre of soil in each VEGeTABLE is uniquely numbered and registered with the primary school. Every seed that grows to seedling and onwards a plant and then eventually onto our plate for eating is photographed, monitored daily and weekly through its life.
All is captured in a unique âGlobal Soil Growersâ, L22c online monitoring centre and each pre-primary school is connected to through the global network of VEGeTABLES to other schools and âFarmers of the Futureâ around the world.
The Now and The Future

David Hollands
Making VEGeTABLES available to everyone across all continents of the world
Because VEGeTABLES are specifically designed to be manufactured from local grown wood and assembled by local craftsmen, neither located more than a maximum of 100 miles from the Primary school, the minimal consumption needed in producing VEGeTABLES helps to tell the children the story of âLocalâ.
The unique âGlobal Soil Growersâ online monitoring centre will be connecting the pre-schools across the region, nationally and internationally so they can all share the progress and understand the difference in growing in soil and climates all round the world.
âFarmers of the Futureâ will be born into a fun and friendly understanding for the basics of the life of food through their local pre-school environment. Families of the future will once more have learnt the importance of our soil, our food, our climate and our community, and most of all our natural health, all through the introduction to VEGeTABLES.
