LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students explore the link between food security and climate change by playing a multimedia animation game or a card game.

Students learn that:

As the human world population is growing, the demand for food and land is growing as well.
The way we produce food has an impact on climate change.
The way we consume food also has an impact on climate change since agriculture is a major greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter. Changes in diet have a significant impact on reducing GHG emissions.
A certain amount of food is lost or wasted with significant regional differences.
