If you are planning for learning and teaching for the new NQs in Science, Biology or Environmental Science, in the context of Food Security, then the BBC HARDtalk interview with environmental campaigner Vandana Shiva may be of interest. Discussion of issues such as do GM crops have a place in India’s future may provide a stimulus for learning, and provide material to explore the questions raised in our published resources for N4 and N5 on Food Security.

We’re also working on our Food Security context on STEM Central, due for publication in 2013. Exemplifying aspects of the science of food security, this ties in with our published Food for Thought resource which explores ideas for food as an interdisciplinary context. Look out in 2013 for this new context for STEM Central, including learning journeys for early to fourth level.
