“Sustainable Food Systems: From Soil to Science” is an experiential learning programme for MYP 5 students that explores how biodiversity, scientific research, and human decision-making influence sustainable agriculture.
During the visit to the University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, students observe agricultural research environments and investigate ecological relationships within farming systems. Through guided field observations, biodiversity exploration, and interaction with agricultural practitioners, learners examine how soil health, pollinators, and crop diversity contribute to food production.
By collecting data, analysing ecological interactions, and reflecting on sustainability challenges, students develop a deeper understanding of how responsible agricultural practices and scientific innovation support resilient food systems and environmental sustainability.
Students strengthen the following Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills during the programme:
• Research Skills – Conducting field observations and collecting ecological data
• Critical Thinking Skills – Analysing relationships within agricultural ecosystems
• Communication Skills – Engaging in discussions with peers, experts, and farmers
• Social Skills – Collaborating in group investigations and sustainability challenges
• Self-Management Skills – Recording observations, managing field journals, and reflecting on learning
Students will:
• Investigate relationships between agriculture, biodiversity, and ecosystem health
• Explore how scientific research and innovation support sustainable farming
• Analyse ecological interactions such as pollination, soil fertility, and crop diversity
• Examine real-world agricultural challenges including climate change and resource management
• Reflect on ethical responsibilities related to sustainable food production and environmental stewardship
Students will be able to:
• Explain how biodiversity and ecological relationships support sustainable food systems
• Describe the role of scientific research and innovation in modern agriculture
• Identify ecosystem interactions such as pollination, soil health, and crop diversity
• Use field observations and collected data to analyse agricultural sustainability issues
• Demonstrate understanding of human responsibility in protecting ecosystems and ensuring food security for future generations.
