LESSON #1: WHERE DOES OUR FOOD COME FROM?

TASK #1 : IMAGE ANALYSIS

Consider a typical Canadian breakfast...

and the Vegetables of our Lunches and Suppers.

These vegetables are currently grown in Canada,

but how did the vegetable get to Canada.

Plants that have always existed in North America

are called "indigenous" (or original) plants.

Over time vegetation such as food crops and

natural vegetation (flowers and trees) have been

brought to Canada.
