Description

This unit goes through different ways in which our food is produced and processed, using a range of examples. The reasons why and how our food is processed is highlighted. Pupils identify the origin of ingredients through cooking a baked dish.

Food production and processing supports the food needs of countries throughout the world, whether domestically or on a larger scale. Knowing how food is produced, and how and why food is processed, enables us to make informed choices about the food we buy, prepare, cook and eat. This builds on previous unit's learning around Food origins and provenance, Consumer awareness, and Sustainability. Pupils progress this learning through examining the importance of how and why food is stored, prepared and cooked for safety in Year 6.
