In the weeks leading up to the UN mandated World Food Day on October 14, my Grade 5 students discussed and studied how climate change is affecting food production.
After learning about GM (genetically modified) crops and the recent buy out of Monsanto, and hearing first hand accounts of the recent pollution problems in Singapore due to the burning of palm oil plantations in Indonesia, students created posters advocating for recent change.
The posters were scanned and submitted to the Food and Agriculture Organization arm of the United Nations for consideration in their poster competition. Fingers crossed that we have a winner!
