How can we feed a growing population and protect the environment?

Pupil Projects Rotation 1

Our IDL links to these UN Sustainable Development Goals:

We researched farming and food production in Aberdeenshire and then explored different solutions to our driving question.

Examples of our research topics:

Commercial food waste management

Vegan Meat Alternatives Sustainable versions of instant noodles

Making a Scottish pizza Chicken and egg production Vertical Farming

Bean to Bar

Investigating the sustainability and the properties of different types of chocolate.

Tattie to Crisp

Learning about the production of potatoes and the process to turn them into crisps.

From the Farm

Examples of local farming methods in Aberdeenshire.

Local Food and Drink Festival

We watched videos from the Taste of Grampian food and drink festival which moved online this autumn. It was interesting to see the local foods available and to see it being cooked.

Our Litter Pick

We analysed the litter that we found during our litter pick.

Sharing What We Have Learned

Next Steps

Virtual 'show rounds ' from food producers and food waste companies with question and answer sessions. Many of these links are available in the winter months when agriculture is quieter.

Vertegrow - vertical farming at Udny Green

Keenans - food waste

RNCI - providing farmers to speak depending on class interest.
