How to use
This resource empowers students to transform food systems through advocacy and education. Students gain competencies in campaign development, civic engagement, and sustainable agriculture while building skills in storytelling, legislative processes, and coalition building. They learn to challenge industrial agriculture practices and create more ethical, sustainable food environments.
The Leadership Academy materials work excellently as foundational content in environmental studies, public policy, or activism courses. Introduce during units on food justice, integrate into service-learning projects, or use as preparation for campus sustainability initiatives. The resource proves particularly valuable before students launch food-related advocacy campaigns.
Faculty should explore the academy’s curriculum and consider partnership opportunities. They can design experiential learning where students develop plant-based campus initiatives, and encourage reflection on personal food choices and systemic change strategies in assignments and discussions.
Teaching format tip
Taking action
Support real-world application with appropriate scaffolding and reflection protocols. Students should plan interventions, implement changes, and analyze outcomes systematically. Use action components to bridge theory and practice while developing agency and practical competencies.
