Taste Tomorrow (Secondary School)

The future of food production is uncertain, but the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture and Food (LIAF) is tackling the challenge head on. With the world’s population expected to reach 10 billion in 2050, feeding everyone nutritious food in a sustainable manner has become a top priority. LIAF is dedicated to finding innovative ways to improve agriculture and food production, and they’re inviting everyone to join the journey.

The Institute has joined forces with teachers, researchers, and students to create a set of engaging and interactive lesson plans that highlight the use of STEM in agriculture. These lessons provide students with hands-on learning experiences and real-world applications of science and technology in agriculture. Students will have the opportunity to work with the latest equipment, receive STEM training and mentorship, and even get creative with their food!

The resources are designed for secondary students from Year 7 to Year 12 and include detailed lesson plans, videos, and downloads. This is the perfect opportunity for students to become part of the solution, and to see how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are being used to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. So why wait? Join LIAF in “tasting tomorrow” and become a part of the solution to feeding the world.
