Défi Actuel 4 – Unit 2 (B2 Level)

This is the second section of the B2-level Défi Actuel 4 sequence for Independent students. In this unit, you’ll explore ethical dilemmas and paradoxical situations related to the global food trade and modern agricultural practices. You'll expand your vocabulary related to large scale food production, energy consumption, and ecological impact. Through authentic articles, debates, and multimedia resources, you'll weigh the impact of pesticide use and intensive agriculture on landscapes and health in Francophone countries. Culturally, you'll learn about agricultural cooperatives in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia and anti-pesticide campaigns across francophone Africa broadly. By the end of this course, you'll feel more confident defending your position and interrogating another person’s opinions in a debate.
