What happens when young people connect global sustainability challenges to the food on their own plates?

🌎💧 At the Local Conference of Youth in Puebla, Mexico, Alianza Alimentaria and Acción Climática led a workshop exploring how individuals can contribute to a more sustainable future. Participants learned about the water footprint of food through an excerpt from ECP’s *The Environment and Modern Agriculture*, then used simple calculations to explore the impact of their own food choices. This is the power of accessible, science-based food education: helping young people understand their impact and recognize their ability to help shape a healthier future. Every child deserves access to this knowledge. Your gift helps us keep these educational resources free and available worldwide.
