AgEd and Advocacy Lesson 1: Raising Food

Students will deconstruct a ham and cheese sandwich, trace the ingredients back to the sources and determine the environmental factors and resources needed to grow/raise each ingredient. Students will then determine if their school environment could realistically support raising/growing these ingredients, building a foundational understanding of their advocacy project.
