Unit 3: Food Secure Cities
Students investigate how cities can build sustainable food systems. They learn how city systems that provide food can reduce waste and discuss sustainable ways to improve food security for everyone. Students also research the actions their city leaders take to achieve equity in local food systems. They create a news story to report their findings.
Congratulations to the students in Class 2nA on their presentation for the Unit 3 digital project, Food Security Issues: News Report. The podcast shows strong evidence of Digital Literacy. The content discussed the impact of food security and the lack of access to healthy food in certain communities. Students also discussed food compost and how the government should provide spaces for community gardens to combat food insecurity. This shows that the students have the ability to use digital tools to present information.
Digital Project Unit 3
In this unit we did an interview to a person we choosed. The interview is about the security and local food in our city.
Then we chosen the best interview, showed it the whole class with groups the digital project.
This is our project:
In this unit we interviewed a person, we chose: Oriol Reull.
Oriol Reull is a specialist in food security issues. In fact he created Too good to go. Too Good To Go is a movement (on social networks) that was born in Denmark in 2016 with one goal: to combat food waste.
In the interview we asked him about food safety and the project he had launched, to good to go.
What is the goal of your work? How does it connect to food security?
Entertain me, the first, and have aliments that I like. Because I don't put insecticide and I cultivate all the aliments. It's all ecological.
What solution or innovation do you work on?
So that the food is not eaten by insects, and so the plant can grow healthy and perfect, I have some yellow pots of water and soap, and it's there where all the insects go. Obviously, they also die there. And I only use natural compost.
How will this (solution/innovation) help achieve your goal? Why is it a good action to take for our city or culture?
Because the insects don't eat what I cultivate, and this makes me happy. Because thanks to this, I don't have to go to the market and buy things that I don't know where it could from.
Who benefits from this (solution/innovation)?
Is there anyone who doesn't benefit? All the people that I know because sometimes I gift some aliments to them. No.
What else do you think can be done to work on this food security issue in our city?
Look for alternatives that are not adding so many chemicals because that does not benefit anyone.
Digital Project Unit 3:
In this Unit we interviewed many important persons, every group class made one. The goal of this interview was to know about people's opinion and how they think we can help.
Here we have an example.
At the end, every team from our class made a video about what we learned in this unit. Here we have another example.
