Parent Earth is a new company that will produce online videos that help parents on everything related to food from growing it to eating it and even composting. We will answer parents' questions about food and mobilize parents to create a world that supports healthy, thriving children.
Parents will be able to ask experts questions that will guide the sites content. Users can also sign up for a free email newsletter with videos that are relevant to the age of their child and where they live.

"Lunch Encounters" launched the One Tray campaign depicting the cafeteria tray as the conduit for a reformed school food system that supports healthy children, local farms, and smart schools. "Lunch Encounters," a spoof of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and "Priceless," a Mastercard spoof, were created by three IATP Food & Society Fellows, Shalini Kantayya, Nicole Betancourt, and Debra Eschmeyer to raise awareness for the upcoming reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act.
The videos are clear: if you want a healthier America, take action at onetray.org. Every child deserves the opportunity to eat food in school that ensures their health and well-being and Farm to School programs are one solution to incorporating healthier foods into school meals.
