Is food grown in supermarkets? (We’ll give you a chance to grow it in your class!). We think that it’s important that we remain connected to where our food comes from, and to the impact that our food choices can have on the environment. Our diets can make a difference to climate change and drive land-use changes - this topic will help students consider their own diets and the impacts they have while encouraging them to shift to more sustainable alternatives.
