Task 1: Food Origin                                                TM

Task 1: Learn about food origin and Virtually visit a local grower
Curriculum link:
Subject: SESE Science | Strand: Plants and Animals | Theme: Growing Seeds
Begin the class by asking students where their lunch comes from. Some may say the supermarket, the
kitchen or the local newsagent.

The best way to discuss food origin is to pick a selection of foods that students are familiar with.
Food plays a huge role in society. In some parts of the world people are obese, while others are starving.
Potatoes, fruit and vegetables play an important role in human health. Students gain a good understanding of
food origin as they progress the Incredible Edibles project.

For Example:
Vegetables: Most vegetables are grown in the ground. Vegetables grow in different seasons and climates.
Fruit: Fruit, like vegetables, grow on plants, trees and bushes.
Herbs: Fresh herbs greatly enhance the taste, appearance and nutritional value of the food we eat. By
growing a small selection of herbs such as chives in small pots on our windowsill or in our garden, we can
add flavour to stocks, soups and sandwiches relatively quickly and easily.
Eggs: The eggs that we eat come from hens. We eat eggs which are not fertilised, meaning that they will
never hatch to produce chickens.
Mushrooms: Did you know that mushrooms grow in the dark? Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes
from small button mushrooms to big mushrooms, such as the Portobello mushroom. The most common
type of mushroom we grow in Ireland is the white button mushroom.
Processed food: Much of the food we buy is processed meaning it has been changed or has had
something added to it. White bread is an example of a processed food. Wheat grains are ground in a mill
and then different parts, like the husk, bran, germ and endosperm get separated. White flour (made from
the endosperm), is mixed with other ingredients and baked to make the loaf you buy in the shop.

Suggested Activity
Make a list of 20 food items in class (or use what’s in your lunchbox!) and trace them back to the farm.
Discuss how additives, sugars and salts are added to many food items. For more information and lesson
plans on food etc., see Agri Aware’s ‘Dig In!’ resource at www.agriaware.ie/Digin

Logbook
Pick a food item and get the students to explore the steps taken to bring it from farm to fork. Do they grow
on trees, on bushes, underground (root vegetables) or above ground? They can make a poster, write a story
or take photos of the food at each stage of the process. Classes could also virtually visit a local grower/food
producer via Facetime/video call. Please attach examples of this work in your logbook.

Task 2: Home or School Activity
Task 2: Include a photograph(s) or story of students identifying Irish potatoes, fruits, vegetables and herbs
        when shopping
Curriculum link:
Subject: SESE Science | Strand: Plants and Animals | Theme: Growing Seeds
The next time you go food shopping, try to buy Irish potatoes, fruit, vegetables and herbs. Write a short
account of what you bought and why you bought it, draw a picture or take a photograph of yourself
shopping. If you can’t make it to the shops, check in your fridge/cupboards to see if any of the produce in
your house is of Irish origin.

What is the Bord Bia Quality Mark?
The Bord Bia Quality Mark is a stamp of approval for foods produced in Ireland.
This means that we are able to tell where the fruit and vegetables were grown and
know that they are of high quality. For more information on the Bord Bia Quality Mark,
see www.bordbia.ie

Take this list when you are shopping and answer these questions and/or include
pictures/ photographs:

What potatoes, fruit, vegetables or herbs
did you buy?

How much did each item cost?

Where do the potatoes, fruits, vegetables
and herbs come from? (Try to buy Irish)

Do they have the Bord Bia Quality mark?

Are the potatoes, fruit, vegetables and
herbs in season? (Check on pack)

See www.bestinseason.ie and www.potato.ie for more information on seasonality and the seasonal
calendar for Irish produce.

Curriculum link:
Subject: SESE Science | Strand: Plants and Animals | Theme: Growing Seeds
When you start the challenge, take a photograph(s) of the class planting the seven Incredible Edibles. In April
and May, take a photograph(s) of the produce growing and include these in your logbook. Be creative as you
like and make sure to include your pictures in your logbook! The more the better. For growing tips, check out
our Incredible Edibles website at http://www.incredibleedibles.ie/gardeningtips.html.

Sustainability:
• The earth provides us with fresh air, clean water and food. To protect the earth for future generations,
  we must take care of it. Energy is required for everything we do and by limiting our use of non-renewable
  energy sources, we can ensure that the earth and its resources can provide for everyone. While you may
  think that your individual impact on the environment makes no difference, it is important to imagine that if
  everyone changed one small habit, the global impact would be enormous!
• Here are some things you can try to do in your class and school to become more sustainable:
  • Clean and reuse old plastic containers to start your Incredible Edibles seeds in
  • Ask a local business to donate an empty barrel. Use this barrel to collect rainwater and use the collected
     water for your garden

Soils
• Did you know that only 11% (1.5 billion hectares) of the Earth’s land surface is used in crop production?
  This is why it is so important that we take care of our soils. There are a number of things we can do to
  conserve soil such as planting trees to minimise erosion and rotate crops after each growing season. The
  easiest thing you can do in your own school garden is to introduce earthworms and practice composting.
  Earthworms help to move the soil around underground which allows for more air and water to access plant
  roots. Earthworms also breakdown organic material found in the soil which helps add extra nutrients for the
  plants to grow better. For more information on how to make your own wormery, check out
  www.incredibleedibles.ie/teaching-resources-activities--lessons.html

Composting
• Composting is the process of decaying organic matter. It adds a number of nutrients back into the soil.
  Composting is essentially nature’s way of recycling and a great sustainability practice to use in your garden.
  Anything that was once living can be composted – apple peels, coffee grinds, tea leaves, potato skins,
  grass clippings, mulch, etc. It is important that you don’t add meat to your compost pile as this attracts
  unwanted visitors (flies, rats, foxes).
• To start your own school composting pile, simply pick an area in the far corner of the garden and start
  collecting dead leaves, grass/plant clippings in a pile. To keep it from looking a mess, create a small square
  using old fencing or pallets to contain the compost pile. Make sure to turn and mix the pile weekly using a
  shovel or pitch fork to help the decomposing process!

the diversity of habitats in which they are found.

there are a lot or a little of the different types
of fruits and vegetables during the year? This
is because different fruits and vegetables grow
best in certain seasons in the year. Some fruit
and vegetables grow during warm months,
whilst others grow during cold months. This
is what it means when fruits and vegetables
are ‘in season’. When you are preparing or
cooking your meal, take a look at the fruit and
vegetables that you are using and find out if
they are in season. For more information on
seasonality and to find out when different fruit
and vegetables are in season, visit

Task 5: Healthy Eating Week
Task 5: Record your potato, fruit and vegetable consumption during Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Week
Curriculum link:
Subject: SPHE | Strand: Myself | Strand Unit: Taking Care of my Body | Theme: Healthy Food

Record your potato, fruit, vegetable and herb intake in school and/or at home.
The Food Pyramid places emphasis on more fruit and vegetable consumption. Potatoes, carrots, turnips,
lettuce, strawberries and chives are all healthy foods and are important for a healthy balanced diet.

Agri Aware’s Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Week will take place from May 10th-14th, 2021. More details
can be found on www.incredibleedibles.ie.

Remember: Task 5 is an activity that can be completed at school and at home.

Teachers
Photocopy the Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Diary template available at www.incredibleedibles.ie.
Alternatively, help the students to design their own Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Diary in class. Ensure
that students record the potatoes, fruit and vegetables they eat at school in their Incredible Edibles Healthy
Eating Diary.

Students
Record the potatoes, fruit and vegetables you eat each day in school and at home during Healthy Eating
Week from May 10th-14th, 2021 in your Incredible Edibles Healthy Eating Diary.

Parents/Guardians
Make sure your child records the potatoes, fruit and vegetables he/she eats at home during Healthy Eating
Week from May 10th-14th, 2021.

Hints and tips to encourage healthy eating in the home
• Set an example by eating healthy nutritious foods
• Experiment with cooking and try something new at home, perhaps a fruit or vegetable that you have never
  eaten before or a new recipe
• Blend soups and smoothies if no one likes ‘bits’
• Involve children during meal-time preparation; it will take the mystery out of what is going onto their plate

Note for
teachers:                               For some great recipe
