Sustainable Food Production

• READY TO TEACH (LESSON 9/11 - RESOURCES).

This lesson requires the use of the blue AQA Oxford textbook.

Explain the concept: Urban Farming. Pupils make a note of this term in their book. Outline the section of the syllabus taught during today’s lesson (slide 3). The main activity involves class/ individual reading of the handout. Pupils must then include information from the handout in their responses to the questions. Show the short documentary (24 minutes duration) whilst pupils are completing the six questions from the handout. Discuss with pupils how Michigan has successfully adopted an urban farming strategy to the city. Pupils self-assess their answers to the questions (slides 6-11), including additional information in their response where necessary. As a plenary, discuss with pupils how we can all make informed choices to consume sustainable food as a family.
