Why Storytelling Matters
Stories are how we make sense of the world — and food is at the heart of every culture, every community, and every generation. Understanding how food and farming stories are told shapes what young people believe, buy, and become.
From social media to documentary film, from journalism to oral history, this PLATE explores how narratives around food are constructed, challenged, and changed — and empowers students to become storytellers themselves.
