Eco Kids gives Bombay’s Urban kids an opportunity to experience growing their own plants, an activity which is missing in their lives currently. It is time for today’s Kids to realize the importance of a holistic and natural life. The cycle of what we grow is what we eat is explained to them so that they are more aware of the source of their food, thus instilling a sense of responsibility towards reducing food wastage.

Additionally, the importance of organic farming is explained with the aim of making their food choices more sustainable.
