Food for Thought, based in Ojai, California, is an environmental services organization focused on improving childhood nutrition and food awareness within the Ojai Unified School District. Founded by parents, educators, and growers in 2002, the group emphasizes nutrition education, garden-based learning, agricultural literacy through farm field trips, and the use of fresh, local, seasonal produce in school meals. Its work targets students, schools, and the wider community through experiential learning in schools and outreach, advocacy, and coalition-building, aiming to reconnect young people with the land and the environment that sustains them. The organization operates with a small team and volunteers to coordinate programs that support healthy eating practices and agricultural awareness. The regional context places the group within the environmental and educational landscape of Southern California.
