Taking Action for Food Security

In this lesson, students will create a proposal to improve your school’s support of sustainable agriculture. To begin this lesson, students will identify a range of food-related actions that they can take to reduce their own environmental footprints. To inform their proposals, the class will then analyse a case study of a group of students taking action to protect pollinators at their school. Finally, students will investigate a range of ingredients in your school canteen menu, assess their sustainability and create a half-page proposal on how to make the menu more sustainable.
