video, which challenges them to apply creative problem-solving and quick
decision-making. It is well-suited for communicating innovative solutions in
sustainable food systems.
HOSA – Research Paper
Why it fits: This advanced HOSA competition allows students to delve deep
into research on health topics, making it ideal for presenting findings on
sustainable food systems. The freedom to choose a topic fosters independent
research and analytical skills.
Community Service:
Sustainable Food Fair & Workshop

engaging the local community in sustainable food practices, there by
translating research and communication skills into tangible community
impact.
Implementation: Plan and organize a local fair in zip code 30058 involving
workshops, cooking demonstrations, and interactive sessions on sustainable
food systems. The event will incorporate elements learned from competitions
(e.g., video presentations and PSA displays) to educate and involve
community members.
