This resource was produced by LEAF Education as part of Sainsbury’s ‘Helping Everyone Eat Better’ campaign.
Sainsbury’s is committed to supporting customers to reduce carbon emissions and food waste, helping them recycle more, use less plastic, and guide them to make healthier, more sustainable choices.
LEAF Education, in partnership with our members, works to engage, inspire and motivate young people through experiential learning, in order to equip our future generations with balanced and informed insight into food production, farming and the environment.
Positive food choices can have benefits for health and the environment. This series of practical activities has something for all students from Early Years to Key Stage 5 and is designed to help students become informed consumers of the future!
Themes
The activities within this document can divided into three key themes:
Healthy Eating
Based on the NHS Eatwell plate, this series of activities provides the opportunity for students to explore the key food groups (fruit and vegetables, protein, dairy and carbohydrates) as well as potential issues with sugar and portion sizes.
Informed Consumers
Labelling and food origins are explored in these activities that aim to provide students with the knowledge they require to make informed choices.
Sustainability
Young people are increasingly focused on environmental issues; these activities focus on food waste and sustainable choices.
Teachers
Today's students are increasingly aware of issues surrounding food and food choices. Working in collaboration with Sainsbury's LEAF Education has produced a series of resources linking food to important issues such as sustainability and healthy eating.
