Calculating your Food Miles

How far does your food travel? Using a map and food items selected from your menu project, students are asked to “create a meal” with the shortest food mile distance. Students will review and calculate the distance many basic ingredients travel prior to reaching the consumer’s plate.  Please see handout for additional information and complete requested data. Students are asked to utilize this data to answer this week’s discussion board questions.
