In this unit you will find out where the food we buy and eat comes from and how it gets to us. Some food travels a very long way, and we will think about whether that is a good or bad thing.

This week record the fruits, vegetables and proteins you and your family eats. Then, find out where that food comes from. 

1. Is it grown here in Qatar? 

2. If it is not from Qatar, what country is it grown in? 

3. How many kilometers away from Qatar is that country? 

4. What forms of transport do you think are used to bring the food to you? 

   • Think about from the place it is grown or made all the way to your house (hint: it is probably more than one form of transport). Remember boats, planes, cars, trucks or trains are all forms of transport.

5. Is it essential or luxury food? 

Mark the countries your food comes from on the map below and record your answers to the questions above in the table that is under the map.
