School Farms, an Accra-based Ghanaian nonprofit, helps schools grow food for school meals while using the farms as outdoor classrooms. Its impact report covering July 2024 to July 2025 says two partner schools, Vane E.P. JHS and Ho Dome R.C. JHS in the Volta Region, served 342 learners who grew vegetables, harvested them and learned to prepare nutritious meals. In January 2026 its Nourish Lab at Vane launched a Nutrition Ambassadors initiative, and the group plans to expand to five schools. Founder Alfred Adjabeng wrote in October 2025 that School Farms' earlier senior-high school gardens reduced meal costs by 40%.
