Thirty primary schools in the Northern Rivers will receive a grant to grow a kitchen garden.
The Live Life Well @ School Program promotes physical activity and healthy eating.
A total of $15,000 has been awarded to 30 schools in the region which means each school gets $500.
State MP Janelle Saffin said some schools will use the grants to grow bush tucker or to distribute or sell produce to the local community as a fundraiser.
The schools in the IndyNR.com patch to receive a contribution to growing a garden are:
Broadwater Public School
Drake Public School
Empire Vale Public School
Evans River K-12 School
Larnook Public School
Urbenville Public School
