Abstract

This project aimed to develop an operational framework for enabling practitioners in schools to engage with food as a central dimension in the lives of all young people, and as a key topic of Learning for Sustainability. Three workshop events were held involving stakeholders from different sectors to share experiences of food growing and food education both in Scotland and
internationally, with a view to identifying current needs and opportunities for synergy between policy, research and practice.

This report collates the key lessons learned from the workshops. It provides insights into the extent to which the Scottish education community is currently addressing the question of food sustainability as an issue that is relevant to all young people; both as individuals and members of a wider community. It also presents the Learning for Sustainability Framework and the Food Activism Framework developed as part of the project.
