Journey 2050: The Power of Educational Gaming
How will we sustainably feed 9 billion people by the year 2050?
Journey 2050 allows schools to experience agriculture like it’s never been taught before. As Grade 7-12+ students explore sustainable agriculture they make inquiry-based decisions to see the ripple effect on social, economic and environmental factors locally and globally. Farm families guide students through interactive games such as a virtual farm simulation. Lesson plans are provided in this free, curriculum-based program. Attend this information session to play the games and hear how you can use it in your community.
Food is life. Sustainable food is our future.
