Discover the FOOD 2030 Science Education Toolkit: a learning resource for everyone in the food system

February 5th, 2025

Food sustainability is becoming an increasingly central topic in our daily lives. But how can we integrate it effectively into education, awareness-raising, and practical activities?

The CLEVERFOOD Science Education Toolkit is designed for educators, organizations, policymakers, food professionals, parents, and even individuals passionate about sustainability who want to enhance their skills in sustainable food practices or contribute to teaching young people about food systems. Whether you're working in a school, a university, a food-related business, a community initiative, or simply looking for ways to reduce your environmental impact in daily life, this toolkit provides engaging, ready-to-use resources tailored to different educational needs and audiences.

From interactive workshops and games to train-the-trainer activities, the toolkit gathers high-quality pedagogical resources developed by projects members of the FOOD 2030 networks, EU Member State & EU institutions, international organisations and more. It collects a wide range of approaches to help raise awareness, develop practical skills, and inspire action. It's a flexible resource that can be used in formal, non-formal, and informal settings, making it ideal for schools, companies in the food sector, local governments, community projects, and families.

To make it easier to find the most relevant materials, the resources are categorized based on different learning goals:
