It seems that in our busy life of fast food and convenience, many people have become so disconnected from their food, they don't know where their food actually comes from (or what it is made of!). This is the first article in a series to help kids understand more about our food system.

Food Miles is a website that allows users to calculate how far food has traveled before it gets to the consumer. This would be a great way to exemplify how much we rely on other countries to supply our basic needs. This website emphasizes the significance of globalization to upper elementary students. It is also a wonderful way to integrate sustainability and math into the social studies curriculum. This website will open students eyes to how interdependent the worlds nations are.

Our resource hub is packed with easy-to-access ideas and activities to do in your lessons. We also have interactive Online Field Trips that bring farms and factories to life in the classroom. Designed to support teachers, they will excite primary-age children about where food comes from, and how it gets on their plates. Plus, we have recipes, lesson aids and printable downloads, as well as information on upcoming events relevant to teachers, pupils and parents. Finding what you need is easy. Click through to the section you want then filter your search by criteria that include age and topic.
