Acker e. V.
Acker e. V. is a social enterprise that operates at the interface between education, agriculture, environment and nutrition. Acker is convinced: Only a society that values nature and food is sustainable. With its practice-led educational offerings, the social enterprise therefore creates formative experiences in nature for children and adults throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Acker’s educational programmes
In the educational programmes for pre-schools and schools, children grow their own vegetables together with their nursery or school teachers. On their own vegetable plot or in indoor beds directly in their classroom, the children experience where the food on their plates comes from and just how delicious fresh vegetables taste. Acker e. V. supports the supervising teachers with a variety of educational and accompanying materials, further training as well as active, on-site support. The goal: Inspiring a young generation for healthy nutrition and sustainability!
