Mapping the journey of our food

Make a list of food items that you consume in a week and the ingredients that go into it.

Research:

  • Where do we get these ingredients from?
  • Which of these ingredients grow locally and what is exported?
  • What does the future of food security look like?
  • What percentage of my weekly food ingredients are imported?

Mapping

  • Map your weekly plate on the map. Showcase on the map:
    • What food items do you get from where on the map?
    • What percentage of your food items comes from the different places on the map?

Reflection:

  • What is the likely impact of my plate on the climate? Why?
  • Why eating local ingredients make more sense? For health? For ecology?
