What are Online Field Trips?
Through our Online Field Trips you can visit farms across the globe without putting on your wellies! We’re bringing food producers from around the world into the classroom – from Costa Rican banana growers to Italian pasta makers.
Your pupils can learn about where their food comes from by chatting live to real growers and producers using Google+ Hangouts. They’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the products and how they get from farm to fork.
We’ll uncover the mysteries behind some everyday products and give children access to places they wouldn’t usually be able to visit, helping them to understand how their food ends up on their plates.
