Stuffed Online – a great teaching resource
Stuffed Online – based around the issues in my book Stuffed: Positive Action to Prevent a Global Food Crisis – is a vital teaching resource provided by the Soil Association’s Food for Life Partnership. It sets out debates about the future of food, allowing teachers and students to explore the issues surrounding how our food is produced and what impact this is having on our environment, society and animal welfare. Each debate has resources – relevant articles, weblinks and information – that will confirm or challenge your understanding about the impact of our current food production and consumption.
Check it out here. For more about Stuffed see my books pages.
