Welcome to the Sustainable Agriculture Page! Sustainable Agriculture also called "SustAg" by us talented individuals is all about using the minimum to create steady and sustainable grow for a long period of time. One great example of that if last week with our Iron Chef contest. Students separated into four groups of eight. Those groups later came up with Ideas on how to incorporate crops into dishes that could be sustainably made with local resources. Groups were allowed to bring items from their house and supermarket but were encouraged to use the least amount from there and most from the garden. Day Two came around and the cooking commenced! Everyone was running around and screaming to one another like they were going to die the next day. While Mr.Stewart was getting into students' faces and calling their dishes garbage. WAIIIT, WAIT WAIT, That was just a scene from the normal Iron Chef my bad. Sustainable Iron Chef was calm and peaceful, students were laughing around and having a good time while cooking their food. While Mr. Stewart sat diligently waiting for the gourmet food that was about to enter his body. Each group finished a bit earlier than the other, but every team finished in the 45minute limit. My group made Bruschetta made from tomatoes grown in our personal gardens, herbs in our farm, Bread from a local bakery, Olive oil/Salt which was used by all groups, and strawberries which were picked fresh from our farm as well. Our team ended up falling just a bit short for first place, but it was definitely the most liked dish from our peers as we ended up having nothing left on the plate besides our sauce. All in all Iron chef was an amazing time, and it's definitely different from any other class because it's a breath of fresh air.
Before Mr.Stew ate our dish Mr.Stew crying over how great it is!
Hopefully you consider to do some sustainable acts yourself or even join SustAg in the future!
