Welcome to our FoodEducators resources. We offer to educators three types of
resources: Lesson plans, Short Activities, and Food Focus Days. These resources
are aligned with our four (not mutually exclusive) themes: Food & health, Food &
sustainability, Food science & food systems, Agrifood careers & jobs.
All our resources were developed to address these main learning objectives:
Systems thinking: Broadening thinking to identify different elements within
food systems and understand their complexity and interrelations.
Systems mapping: Explore the variety of jobs within food systems.
Sustainable and healthy lifestyles: Understand sustainability, from farm to fork to disposal.
Informal Activities
These include digital games, card games and other activities that can be used in
a more informal way and not in connection with a specific lesson.
Lesson Plans
Lesson plans, designed for 45-minute classes, include optional extensions and activities. Each plan details the target age, learning objectives, and curriculum connections.
While each plan is a self-contained unit, they can be linked to create thematic lessons or longer projects (suggested linkages are included).
Supporting classroom materials (worksheets, presentations, teacher notes) are provided in printable and digital formats, along with background resources (podcasts, videos, articles) for teacher preparation.
If you are interested in how our Lesson Plans are connected with Sustainable Development Goals listed by the United Nations and Key Competences for Lifelong Learning listed by the European Commission, download our infographic.
