LOCKDOWN Enviro Challenge #4 Food Miles

 Food coming from overseas has a negative impact on the environment. 

This is as a result of the energy required to get it to us here in New Zealand.

FOOD MILES - WHERE DOES MY FOOD COME FROM? 

Ask an adult if you are allowed to look at some of the tins and packets in your cupboard at home. 


>> Take a range of tinned foods and packets out.

>> Most food labels in NZ say the country of origin - the place where the food was made, processed or packaged. 

>>  Have a look and see how many different countries your food has come from. 

>> It can be written in different ways so read carefully! 

>> Share some of your answers in the comments box below.  


Here's some of mine ...

- Water Crackers - Made in Australia 🇦🇺 

- Watties Beans - Made in NZ 🇳🇿

- Chickpeas - Produced in Italy 🇮🇹 

Remember - it is always better to buy local food - it's fresher and better for the environment
