Gobar Times: The Picnic Potluck

A short story on joining the dots between eating well, biodiversity and climate change

Vibha Varshney, Chhavi Mathur

Babbi's class was going for a picnic to Lodhi Garden on Friday and their teacher was explaining what she wanted the children to do for that day.

The picnic was a potluck and the children had to get food from home that everyone could share and eat in the garden. The forty children in the class were divided into five groups of eight each. Each group was assigned one parent to supervise them.

Each group had to get only one item. Ma'am wanted the kids to get some traditional food. There was an immediate eruption of suggestions on what they could bring.
