=Welcome to the Geography of Food Wiki! =

Purpose
Incorporating food into your lesson plans is a fun way to engage students, learn about the culture of a place, and teach valuable life skills to your classroom. Food is an excellent medium to use for getting students to ask: Why? As geographers, we hope to instill in our students the ability to question, analyze, and interpret the information that is available to us, and grub is one way you can accomplish this.

Content
Within the wikispace is an array of sample lesson ideas and resources related to food that you can use in your classroom. They deal with the concepts of food availability, culture of commonly eaten foods around the world, economics of purchasing food, traditions of meals, historical importance, and others. Please feel free as you visit to add additional comments and ideas to improve upon the resources.
