Introduction

The SAW Trust have teamed up with the Food and Farming Discovery Trust and the Youth STEMM Awards to create a  series of workshops for teens.

The Conscious Consumers Project enables young people to explore topical issues that span the boundaries of agriculture, food, health and society. The workshops focus on six topics; climate change, animal welfare, rewilding, plant-based diets, personal nutrition and food miles.

The workshops are free to download and can be completed as part of a group at school or college or independently at home.

We all have to make choices, particularly around the food we eat and our choices as consumers really do have the power to shape the world we live in.

We hope the Conscious Consumers project will help young people feel more confident to evaluate claims made about topical issues and make informed decisions about their own life choices.

Dr Jenni Rant, The SAW Trust.

What’s included

Each Conscious Consumers topic comes with a workbook, presentation, activity sheets and teacher notes booklet for guidance.

We invite young people to use the resources to consider what it means to be a conscious consumer and think about how the choices we make everyday impact on the environment and our wellbeing.

Additional information

Time spent on the resources can count towards a Youth STEMM Award.

Head over to the Food and Farming Discovery Trust to complete the Conscious Consumers short introductory topic quizzes.
