The Struggle to Teach It
If you’re like the majority of educators in the UK, you
may discuss climate change or sustainability sometimes, or you may have yet to introduce it to your
classroom.⁴ You may be like the ~50% of teachers
who think these topics aren’t currently included in
their school’s curriculum in a meaningful way but feel
they lack the speci昀椀c capacity or time to develop it
themselves.² Or maybe you just don’t know how to
incorporate these topics into your subjects. Climate
education isn’t just for Science and Geography
teachers, and it doesn’t have to be hard. It is a
cross-cutting issue that can be seamlessly included in any curriculum, and we are here to help.
See how food education applies to the academic
standards for subjects you may not think, like History,
Mathematics/Numeracy, Modern Foreign Languages,
Physical Education, Psychology, and Sociology.

A Complete (and Free!)
Solution-Based
Approach
At the Educated Choices Program, we believe that
food education is a right and that by providing accessible educational materials on the impacts of our
food choices, we can inspire the next generation of
consumers to build a healthier, more sustainable
future for everyone. Our content is easily digestible,
age-appropriate, and engaging videos, lesson plans,
quizzes, and more are available 24/7 at no cost on
our video library. These materials equip students with
the knowledge to make more informed decisions and
give them practical solutions they can implement to
mitigate the worst e昀昀ects of the climate crisis. It’s easy
for you, too! One video topic can provide days of inclass instruction and activities with minimal e昀昀ort on
your part.
Our education is lasting and impactful. These
eye-opening topics have inspired students around the
world to participate in projects to improve the sustainability of their school or local community and even involve their families as they further their learning. More
than 90% of our viewers say they will make healthier,
more planet-friendly food choices after watching our
content. With over 3.5 million viewers in 60 countries
and counting, our vision to create lasting change is
becoming clearer, and you can be a part of it.
