Students investigate global and local food equity issues that places groups of people at risk of food inequity. Students will explore the impacts of industrialized food production, social, political, economic and environmental factors impacting on people's access to food. 

Students will examine the criterion that places groups at risk of food inequity, both locally and globally. Students will understand the implications of over and under nutrition on an individual's health and wellbeing through the lifecycle.

Students will make ethical decisions about technologies, considering legal, economic, environmental and social implications. Students will generate designed solutions for preferred food equity futures through technological and production processes to address authentic needs.

Students are introduced to food preparation and cookery techniques, safe work practices and food safety and hygiene.

Students will demonstrate evidence of their learning through several assessment types aligned with the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards for Design and Technologies.

Food Equity and Social Justice is a food specialization course within the Design and Technologies Australian Curriculum.

Technologies have been an integral part of society for as long as humans have had the desire to create solutions to improve their own and others' quality of life. Technologies have an impact on people and societies by transforming, restoring and sustaining the world in which we live.

Australia needs enterprising and innovative individuals with the ability to make discerning decisions concerning the development, use and impact of technologies. When developing technologies, these individuals need to be able to work independently and collaboratively to solve complex, open-ended problems.

The Design subject focuses on the application of design thinking to envisage creative products, services and environments in response to human needs, wants and opportunities. Designing is a complex and sophisticated form of problem-solving that uses divergent and convergent thinking strategies that can be practiced and improved. Designers are separated from the constraints of production processes to allow them to appreciate and exploit innovative ideas.
