The Impact of Experiential Learning Using an Indoor Aquaponic System on Nutrition Students' Sustainable Food Knowledge and Behaviour

Students who engaged in sustainable behaviours had significantly higher diet quality, highlighting the potential dual benefit of curriculum integration. Embedding sustainability-focused learning in nutrition curricula may better prepare students to lead change in food systems.
