This category explores the important link between food systems and climate change, highlighting both the challenges and solutions for creating a sustainable food future. The focus is on raising awareness and encouraging action, emphasizing the crucial role communities play in building resilience and driving change. Here are some ideas:

Sustainable Farming Practices:  

  • Organic farming practices that protect the land and support biodiversity.  
  • Farmers using renewable energy, like solar-powered irrigation or sustainable equipment.  
  • Fields filled with drought-resistant crops, highlighting innovative solutions to climate challenges.

Community-Based Solutions:  

  • Farmers markets that support local, sustainable produce while reducing dependence on industrial agriculture.  
  • Volunteers distributing surplus food to reduce waste and help those in need.  
  • Community gardens where people work together to grow food in urban or rural areas.  
  • Local organizations creating sustainable systems like composting programs or farm-to-table initiatives.  

Impacts of Climate Change on Food Systems:  

  • Drought-stricken fields, struggling farmers, and areas hit by extreme weather.  
  • Food scarcity impacting vulnerable communities.  
  • Innovative and collaborative efforts to tackle food insecurity.
  • Composting and recycling programs that turn food scraps into useful resources.  

These images highlight the importance of sustainable food systems in tackling climate change. They showcase the resilience and creativity of farmers, communities, and organizations, showing that building a greener food future is both achievable and essential for people and the planet.

Instructions and Credits:

We are looking for all types of images that you believe will help us in our courses, blogs, and social media. Photos tell stories, give us glimpses of others’ lives and show us parts of the world we have never seen. Your photography will help us raise awareness about the environmental challenges that we all face in our communities.

We are looking for original photographs. You do not need any special equipment and you can take images with your phone. For every 5 images, you will get 1 hour of credit.

We accept a variety of content/subject matter as long as it pertains to our work. Do NOT send multiple JPEGs of the same photo, but you can take multiple shots of the same subject. For example, if you are taking pictures at a park, capturing different angles of someone picking up trash—showing the scenery, trash bag, and garbage—are all acceptable. However, if you take 5 similar photos of a person sitting at a desk, we will only be able to use one image.

Ready to start capturing images through a camera lens? Don’t worry if you’re a beginner – it’s all about trial and error and finding your unique style. Experiment with different angles, lighting, and subjects to discover what works for you. Your effort is all that is required, and once we verify your images, we will give you credit.
