Become a Food Systems Detective

Find out where your food comes from and where it goes when you’re done with it.

Imagine pulling your favorite bag of chips out of the pantry. How did it make its way to your hands and what will happen when you throw away the empty bag? This interactive activity will answer those questions when you explore modern food systems, which include producing, processing, distributing, retailing, consuming, and disposing of food.

Along the way, you’ll start to see the bigger picture of where each activity in modern food systems takes place and how much traveling is involved.
