Best practice: → Buy locally produced food, especially fresh produce from farmers and, if possible, organic, to teach children not only about the importance of where the food comes from, but also about quality and healthy eating habits; → Start a school allotment - it offers great benefits by providing children with a connection to their food source and also by introducing a green curriculum; → Link up with farmers markets and sell the school produce there, giving the possibility to explore the economics of food production; →
Commit to Fairtrade products to raise awareness
about the ethics of food production; → Install water dispensers throughout the school at the detriment of fizzy drinks and chocolate machines. Thus pupils have the chance to fill their bottles during the day and drink water during lessons as well.
