FOODSPAN

Teaching the Food System from Farm to Fork

This free, downloadable curriculum provides high school students with a deep
understanding of critical food system issues, empowers them to make healthy and
responsible food choices, and encourages them to become advocates for food
system change.


WHAT IS THE FOOD SYSTEM?

The food system spans the activities, people and resources involved in getting
food from field to plate. Along the way, it intersects with aspects of public
health, equity and the environment.


WHY TEACH THE FOOD SYSTEM?

The public has shown a growing concern for food system issues. Widespread
problems such as chronic illness, infectious disease, social inequality, animal
welfare harms, environmental degradation, and the concentration of economic
power have ties to the food system. Recognizing these connections can empower
young people to become not only informed consumers, but also food citizens who
can engage in many facets of the food system, from growing their own food to
advocating for policies.
