Sustainable Food
Sustainable Food Project Stream
A project that facilitates sustainable food choices in your community.
What are sustainable food choices? They can be anything from choosing local and seasonal foods, eating a more plant-based diet, choosing organics, choosing whole foods over processed ones, being aware of where your food comes from, growing your own food and reducing food waste.
Examples of possible projects:
- Plant a community vegetable garden available to those in need
- Create a pollinator sanctuary for local butterflies and bees
- Create an awareness campaign to encourage sustainable food alternatives
Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots
Do great things in your community.
Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots began in 1991 when Dr. Jane met with 12 Tanzanian high school students who wanted to tackle urgent problems in their community. Since that meeting, Roots & Shoots groups have multiplied many times over and can now be found in more than 50 countries around the world. Wherever there’s a group, young people are making change that benefits animals, people and the environment.
Grants for the Sustainable Food stream were made possible through the
generous support of Planet Friendly News.
