Nature of Teaching: Food Waste Curriculum

Perdue University’s College of Agriculture Nature of Teaching Program developed this curriculum to help educators introduce their students to key concepts of food waste. Lesson plans are divided into the following units: Food Waste and Natural Resources, Food Waste and the Environment, What a Waste of Food! School Gardens, Food Waste Solutions, and Transporting Food Waste. Each unit contains one or more lesson plans that contain Common Core English/Language Arts, Math, and Next Generation Science Standards. Most lessons are K-5, but some include middle school and high school standards, and many can be scaled up.
