Geography - Where does our food come from?
Get ready to explore the world through food! Pupils will dive into how different foods grow in different biomes and why that matters, uncover which foods harm the environment the most, and discover how we can make smarter choices to protect the planet. They'll journey with a cocoa bean from farm to chocolate bar, weigh the pros and cons of global food imports, and investigate the importance of fair and responsible trade. Using atlases, scale bars, and real interview data, students will become global detectives—locating countries, measuring distances, collecting insights, and spotting trends to answer big questions about our world.
