You will need:
A map of the world
A selection of foods with the country of origin marked on

Display a selection of food items that have their country of origin
marked on the packaging (pre-wrapped fruits and vegetables from
supermarkets are a good source for this type of information). Ask
the children to guess where these foods come from.
Allow them to examine the packaging to discover the country of origin
and ask them to find these on a map.
Calculate the approximate distance that each of these foods has
travelled.
Ask the children to explain how they think the foods are transported
and to suggest any consequences of this process.
