Synopsis
In this writing activity, students explore the foods they eat and where those foods come from. For example, a student might write that the ingredients in their hamburger come from a farm. This activity is a great companion to a study on food, food production, and food waste. Some key points to teach may include the following:
- impact of food waste on climate change
- emissions from food production
- inequality in access to food, (i.e., food deserts)
- native vs. imported foods
