Future Food
During Challenges Online Week, students from across the world worked remotely on a group project to address an aspect of their Challenge. As part of their project, students created outputs including podcasts, social media campaigns, websites and apps and presented their work in the form of a video. This Challenge was previously called 'Food For Thought' in 2020 and has since been renamed to 'Future Food'. The projects that the students produced in the Future Food Challenge are shown below
