Environmental education must address the political, economic, and social factors of food systems to create lasting change
A food system is the path that food travels and includes the growing, shopping, cooking, eating, and disposing of food. Modern food systems face multiple issues. Many people across the world do not have access to a constant supply of food. Additionally, global agriculture is a main driver of human-induced climate change. Environmental education can play a pivotal role in raising awareness around the socially and environmentally unsustainable nature of modern food systems.
