Catalogue of innovative teaching practices and best teaching tips for embedded food systems education

This output was developed in a form of a book providing tested and successfully implemented innovative teaching concepts and practices and teaching tips for embedded food systems education. They were developed based on the input collected from local workshops organized with the contribution of university teachers in each of the GOODFOOD universities. The examples, carefully selected from a broad range of presented and discussed ideas, include the description of the teaching practices or concepts regarding objectives, skills and resources needed, methods to be used, suitability for study programme level(s), needed prerequisites of students, and obstacles to overcome if identified (constraints, drawbacks, limits), feedback from testing the tool in a concrete situation. The book target groups include lecturers and teachers active in higher education or educators working in vocational training, in the topics related to the (sustainable, local, embedded) food systems.

By developing this book, we hoped to provide a useful guide on how to enrich teaching on embedded food systems.

The book counts 42 pages and contains 11 following chapters (teaching concepts, practices, tips):

1. E-learning course to increase understanding of various dimensions of embedded food systems

2. Case Studies as didactic tool

3. Rich Picture

4. Terroir – interactive market and shop survey on terroir products during excursions

5. Inquiry based learning applied to sustainability issues

6. Food-Transect – applied to food justice issues

7. Exploring inner landscapes and learning from different perspectives

8. Embedded dish – What is my favourite dish embedded in the territory?

9. Study of embedded food systems as a learning journey

10. Using animal encounters to bridge separation of students and food systems

11. ISP – Intensive Study Programme.

The text of the book is accompanied by graphics and photos, which increase its attractiveness for the readers. It was originally written in English, and then translated into selected languages of the GOODFOOD consortium (Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian, German). Besides the O6 book, in this output we also share a broader collection of the methods and tips which were discussed during the GOODFOOD workshops, shortly characterized and put together in the condensed catalogue (O6 GOODFOOD Catalogue).
