The Need to Seed centres on a clever, almost magical idea: a shovel that dispenses seeds at the push of a button, making it simple for anyone to start growing their own vegetables at home. The team’s goal is to promote mental health by improving access to healthy food, recognising that eating well and feeling well are closely connected, and that not everyone has equal access to fresh produce. By making it easier and more accessible to grow your own food, The Need to Seed aims to support both physical and mental well-being, one seed at a time. A day or hour when students bring only healthy food to school in their lunchboxes, raising funds for people who don’t have the same access to healthy food.
