Closed-Loop Food SystemClosed-Loop Food System

At St. Philip's Academy our lunch program and outdoor learning center create a dynamic model of the closed food loop cycle.

The cycle begins in the rooftop garden where seeds are planted and nutured. Once these fruits, vegetables and herbs are harvested, they journey to the dining hall where they make tasty additions to our healthy lunches. The waste from lunch is then recycled up to the rooftop garden and is then added to the compost bin.  It eventually becomes fresh new soil which helps nourish future season’s crops.
