The Food Sustainability Science Fair Grant Program -
2010
In collaboration with the Let's Talk Science Partnership Program, The Foodshed Project ran a pilot program
that offered grants up to $50.00 towards science fair supplies if their project involved the topic of food sustainability.
Staff from and The Foodshed Project
and Let's Talk Science developed a promotional video,
Food Sustainability Science Fair Guidebook and
Power Point presentation to help explain what food sustainability is and also how to put together a successful science fair project. The workshop also involved a hands-on activity where the students ranked their lunch on nutrition, garbage generated and food miles. The program was offered to 5 different grade 7/8 classes in 2 different schools and
5 grants were awarded. Please feel free to use
our resources to encourage students to understand the
issues involved in food sustainability.
