Healthy People, Healthy Planet
This resource, aimed at primary level, looks at diet and sustainable food production. Designed as a cross curricular workshop it links to the topic areas of the senses, healthy eating, sustainability and how human activity impacts upon our environment. Children identify some common foods using their sense of smell and touch and find out where they originate from. They then explore food miles, how food is transported, and how this may have an impact on the environment.
The activities could also be broken down into smaller episodes of teaching and adapted for use with different age groups. The resource contains teachers’ notes and all related student materials.
