Sustainable Development Goals

For better or for worse, the system that brings us the food we eat impacts each and every one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. 

1. Introduce your students to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (see video below).
2. Explore how this field trip experience intersects with various SDG goals, especially the three below. Ask students what they think each SDG means, and then play each video.
3. Consider each SDG and what challenges there might be to meeting it.
4. Break students up into small groups. Ask them to choose one of the SDGs, identify an obstacle to meeting that goal, and then design a solution to address that goal. Encourage students to consider how that solution can be implemented in their own community.
