Presentation transcript:

Where does my food come from? Food miles. Distance your food has to travel to get from the grower to your plate

What are food miles? A measure of how far our food travels from the land to our plate

Remember: it usually is not direct! Explain that it isn’t this simple - most food’s journey from field to plate isn’t always direct. It travels from farm to packaging factory, to distribution center, then maybe another distribution center, to shopping market and finally to our homes.

How does our food travel? - Any ideas? Whats the mode of transport?

Where did your dinner come from? Ask students where their dinner came from. Can they tell you where on the map that is? Have a physical world map whereby you or the students can place stickers on the source locations Wow, look how far our dinner travelled!

How do we calculate our food miles? Mark the food’s location on your map. (source) Draw a line from the source to Scotland. Measure the line with your ruler. Compare this to your scale bar. Show example. Mark source location on map. Measure source to Scotland, using a ruler. Convert to km using scale bar. Give out small individual maps. Each student selects one food item and calculates food miles. 500km

Local vs. Long distance Which is better to eat? Long distance food travels further, uses more energy and fuel and produces more fumes. These fumes are bad for our health and for the environment.

EAT LOCALLY!
