My Lunchbox Journey: Uncovering Science and Facts

 

Fern Pereira & Kayla Lenferna de La Motte worked with Professor Grant Schofield and the AUT Human Potential Centre to put together this comprehensive, current and super interesting reference guide, as a complementary resource to My Lunchbox Journey Animation. Here you will find the latest science and facts on industrial food systems, food processing, nutrition & health, and food and packaging waste. The guide also includes lots of great tips for litterless lunchboxes, including promoting sustainable food choices at home and school, and how to become a healthy and sustainable lunchbox ambassador!

My Lunchbox Journey is a community initiative by Clean Plate, in collaboration with Bunker Studio, AUT Human Potential Research Centre and the Connected Communities Department at Auckland Council, through its Innovation Fund. The main aim of this project is to raise awareness among students and whānau on how our food choices may impact not only our individual health, but the health of our planet. The main outputs by the end of phase one of the project were “My Lunchbox Journey” short-animation and its complementary “My Lunchbox Journey: Uncovering Science and Facts” reference guide.

 Clean Plate Less Waste Lunchbox Cookbook

 

The Clean Plate Less Waste Lunchbox Recipe e-book was created as part of a Clean Plate community project aiming to minimise food and packaging waste whilst encouraging healthier lunchbox foods.

As part of this initiative, and in collaboration with East Auckland primary schools and students, and supported by the Howick Local Board, participating Year 6 students helped cook recipes and collate a great range of tips for truly litterless lunchboxes.

Beautifully illustrated with photographs from cooking sessions in each school, this readily accessible and printable book includes over 30 yummy recipes which students can make effortlessly at home and at school, and most importantly, that everyone would enjoy eating and having in their lunchboxes.
