Sustainable food activities (P15, P16, P17, P18)

  • Sustainable eating is about choosing foods that are good for our environment and our bodies. In addition to a sustainable diet, how food is produced, distributed, packaged and consumed is important. A big part of a sustainable food system is reducing food waste. Although there are differences in the provision of school meals across Europe, meals consumed at school are an important part of children's diets.

     

    Sustainability

    1. Sustainable food is environmentally responsible, fair and accessible, local, healthy, and not wasted.
    2. Teaching children how to grow their own food can have a huge impact on their future.
