MISSION POSSIBLE

Mission Possible and the Food Squad engages children to care about the environment and empowers them to learn ways to live more sustainably.

Through a series of books that simplify and personalise large environmental issues, children begin to build a relationship to the planet, understand their place in it and learn actions that make a positive impact as an individual. The books are read in conjunction with an app that invites children to be part of a secret agent society of like minded children carrying out missions that engage them in ways to form everyday habits for a healthy planet.

Through engaging story telling the food-based characters cover the big environmental issues we face globally. Gigi the carrot brings up the problem with standardization of fruit and veg in supermarkets, Nino the orange covers the plastic packaging dilemma, Ruby the radish teaches children about why bees need biodiversity of plants, Champ the broccoli sustains a healthy life and planet by limiting meat consumption, Ray the raspberry explains why seasonal veg is better for us and the planet, Aiko the asparagus tries to offset the carbon emissions of internationally imported goods, Buster the butternut squash questions the reasons why we throw perfectly good food away after reading a use-by-dates and Batu the bok choy tells us how our food becomes compost and helps grow new food.
