Food and Food Systems- Is there enough room at the table for everyone?

Abstract

There is a lot of discussion today about the buzzword “sustainability.” What is sustainability? Can we achieve and maintain sustainability? The purpose of this curriculum unit is to bring awareness on this subject to my students, the next generation of inhabitants on this planet. I hope to accomplish this by encouraging them to participate in classroom discussions and debates which will hopefully generate ideas for solutions and improvements in our current food systems, which could lead to food sustainability locally and globally.
