Food for Thought: English Learn resources

These English resources for the learn part of the Food for Thought resources focus on the experience of small-scale farmers to engage pupils with fairness issues in the global food system.

For primary (aimed at ages 8-11) pupils look at Malawi and use snakes and ladders to learn about the experiences of small-scale farmers.

For secondary (aimed at ages 11-16) pupils look at farming heroes from around the world to think about how small-scale farmers can be supported.
