This video describes the owner’s vision for creating a series of sustainable restaurants. While not specifically a farm to table system his restaurants actually grow some of the food they serve and recycle their kitchen waste by composting and vermicomposting to fertilize the food they grow.

When watching this video consider how things like growing food, composting and vermicomposting might be part of a farm to table system in schools, not just restaurants. In addition, menu planning based on what is in season might be a good exercise for schools and foster a bit closer understanding of the food system.
