Food Will Win the War: A K-12 Educators’ Workshop on Teaching World War I, 1914–19

"Food Will Win the War" trained K-12 educators on how to use food as an instructional aid in teaching World War I. This innovative approach stresses the importance of food and food conservation to the war effort, and the place of humanitarianism and hunger relief in US relations with Europe. The workshop was sponsored by the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board and co-organized by the AHA, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and National History Day.
