Each student is given an ‘identity’ like a food item (strawberry, chicken, chips), someone in the food chain (farmer, driver), or a link in the process (water, field, bin worker). They think about their roles and use string to show how they are connected. This helps them understand how food systems are linked and encourages systems thinking.
Consider different possible courses of action
Based on the pupils’ ideas, the teacher can explore certain topics in more detail and help them think about different actions they could take. The activity is inspired by the ‘Food Game’ from Belgian NGOs Quinoa and Rencontre des Continents.
