Unit 3/4 Food Studies

Unit 3/4 Food Studies students are currently exploring Environment and Ethics, looking at food security, food sovereignty and food citizenship. 'Good & Fugly' is an Australian-based company that helps combat food wastage and supports local farmers. In Australia alone, we throw away 3.1 million tonnes of food. That's 17,000 jumbo jets (747s)! Twenty-five percent of all produce never leaves the farm because it isn't pretty enough for supermarkets and 30% of all the world's farmland is used to produce wasted food. The students were given a box of 'Fugly' fruit and vegetable and had 75 minutes to create a recipe highlighting their ingredient!
