Topic 1 KS2: Where does our food come from?

In this topic children have the opportunity to consider that there are complex natural and man made processes involved in bringing their food to the dinner table. They will also realise that these processes involve many people all over the world, and they will reflect on the fact that there are consequences of buying cheap food from abroad or transporting food long distances.
