Where food comes from (11-14 Years)

Explore resources and activities on food origins, farming, processing, and production, including seasonality, sustainability, and food provenance.

The key learning objectives are:

  • Food is sourced, processed and sold in different ways;
  • Food production and processing ensures that food is edible and safe;
  • Geography, seasonality, weather and climate influence the availability of food and drink.

These resources are suitable for pupils in England and Wales (Key Stage 3, years 7, 8 and 9), Northern Ireland (post-primary, years 8, 9 and 10) and Scotland (S1-S3).

This section builds on the learning from the 7-11 years area. For further rigour and challenge, go to the 14-16 years area.
