Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will be immersed in, and connect with, the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topics of food security and urban agriculture. Students begin by exploring the concept of food security by participating in a classroom demonstration and a guided discussion around a food security clip. They then explore the practice of urban farming as one solution to current and future food security challenges.
Students then work collaboratively to identify a potential site for an urban farm in their area, creating a proposal for this project to share with the class.
