Food security and children in a changing environment
Prompts for discussion
-
If a drought or flood destroys all the food a community grows can they get food from somewhere else? why or why not?
-
How can we make sure plants get watered even if there is a drought? What does this have to do with “food security”?
-
Where do the nutrients in food come from? What do you think happens if you grow the same crop on the same soil over and over again every year?
-
Write down what you ate yesterday. Where did the food you ate come from?
-
Does your school have a garden? If so, what food grows in the garden?
-
Does anyone use a cookstove or an open fire to cook at home or at school?
-
Who preparations the food in your home? Do boys and girls do different chores at home? Make a list.
