About Food Miles Food miles are the measure of the distance a food travel’s from field to plate. Supermarkets have taken over from local and regional markets.

The impact of food miles: - List the food item/country - Calculate the distance from that country to Freeport - Add your totals together to get the total.

Starter All food types go through different processes on the journey from origin to plate. The class has been divided in half. You each have a stage in coffee’s journey. Your task it to organise yourselves into the correct order, to show coffee’s journey from start to finish. Let’s see which is the fastest group!

To understand the journey of a banana from origin to plate. Learning objectives

Activity: Where do our bananas come from? Write a description of where our bananas come from. Include continents, N/E/S/W and specific countries.

Write numbers 1 to 8 in your margin. As you watch this video, list the different stages of a banana’s journey.video Activity: Going bananas! The Journey Of Bananas: From Land To Your Hand

Did you get all the information? The Journey of Bananas: From Land to Your Hand Banana trees are grown in Costa Rica using cuttings from the previous year. Trees are pruned once the fruit grows, and covered in bags coated with insecticide. High tech choppers spray more insecticide. Bananas are cut from the tree one they are grown, and transported by pully to the processing plant. Bananas are sorted (washed, checked for spiders, and shape and size is checked). Bananas are labelled. Bananas are transported to the UK by ship in special cool containers. This takes 11 days. Bananas are transported by lorry to the supermarket where they are stored, then sprayed with ethylene to ripen. Banana trees are grown in Costa Rica using cuttings from the previous year.

Your task is to create a storyboard to show the journey of a banana, from tree to fruit bowl. Activity: The story of a banana Each stage of your story must have a picture and description. Give your storyboard a title. Make sure that you state which country your banana comes from.

Eating bananas has an impact on our carbon footprint. Why do you think this is? Linking your learning: carbon footprint At each stage of a banana’s journey energy is being used and greenhouse gases are emitted. For example, the machinery spraying insecticides runs on fuel (oil) and releases CO 2 gases. Can you think of another example?

Your task is to describe how bananas get to the UK from abroad, and the energy used or greenhouse gases emitted during this journey. Activity: Bananas and our carbon footprint You should use the following key words in your description: Country of origin Production Processing Transportation Retail Consumption You should use the following key words in your description: Country of origin Production Processing Transportation Retail Consumption
