These resources are part of the Love Food? Love Bees! education package created in collaboration with ACT for Bees.

This Years 9 & 10 Geography unit, Sustainable Food Practices, has been designed to:

  • introduce students to the concept of food security in Australia and globally
  • help students understand the vital role pollinators play in our food systems
  • explore sustainable agriculture approaches and their importance for future food security
  • examine organisations that support sustainable food production in Australia
  • empower students to make informed choices about sustainable food practices
  • develop students' critical thinking about food systems and environmental impacts
  • encourage students to take meaningful action in their school and local community.

Through a series of engaging lessons, students will learn about the challenges facing our food systems, particularly the threats to pollinators like bees, while developing practical knowledge about sustainable agriculture and food choices. This unit supports students in becoming informed, responsible global citizens who understand how their food choices impact the environment and future food security.
