Global Citizenship -
Food and biodiversity

This theme explores how growing and eating our own food impacts our personal health, and how it has knock-on impacts for local and foreign biodiversity.

Global Citizenship Food and Biodiversity is the tenth theme of the programme. As with the previous themes, you will see that Food and Biodiversity overlaps and integrates with the other environmental themes, and the national curriculum in many ways. By working on this new theme, students, teachers and the wider school community will produce, prepare and eat their own food, whilst also investigating the impacts that the world’s current food production system has on the natural world. Not only will participants be learning how to reduce the environmental impact of their food choices, they will also have the opportunity to enhance their personal well-being, through increased time spent outdoors, eating freshly harvested food, and developing life-skills and resilience associated with being able to grow, prepare and cook their own food.
