Plant2Plate
We are delighted to launch our second year of our hugely popular Plant2Plate campaign which is part of our Green Ambassador scheme. Our Plant2Plate campaign focuses on what can be done to produce and consume food in a sustainable way that's less harmful to our shared planet and healthier for us.
Our Wonky Veg Challenge
We’ve launched an exciting new competition to find tasty recipes from schools across the UK as part of our Plant2Plate campaign. We're asking pupils to create a recipe idea themed around WWF’s Livewell principles for a healthy and sustainable diet. There are some fantastic prizes to be won, including a visit from actor and WWF Supporter, Cel Spellman.
Food, glorious food!
A recent WWF survey shows that parents and children these days really are open to growing food that’s healthier for them – and the planet too, and it’s schools that are key places for them to learn what to do. Which is great news, because growing and cooking food at school is a great activity for pupils of all ages, enabling them to build their understanding of where some of their food comes from and the impacts of food production, and to develop important life skills that are also rewarding and fun.
Download your FREE 'taster' classroom resource
We've got a fabulous new classroom resource for primary schools that encourages pupils to explore food that is healthy for people and healthy for the planet.
Our new 'taster' resource is free for teachers to download and includes The strawberry story activity, which is a fun game with picture cards that lets pupils explore the different steps in the production of strawberries, from plant to plate. They also reflect on how different food choices can help reduce the impact of food production on the environment.
We used the growing food resources to decide on what to plant and it was very useful for suggesting to plant a wild flower area for the bees. The Growing Guide has also inspired us to grow crops for early harvest next year.
Free resources and activities
We will be launching our brand new teacher resource 'Healthy Food for a Healthy Planet' very soon. We have everything you need for your keen gardener’s from our 'Growing Guide' to our 'Food for Thought' pack, our range of engaging resources will help introduce Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils to the issues of food and sustainability.
Plant2Plate Competition Winner
The Oval Primary School in Birmingham is celebrating success in WWF-UK and Alpro’s competition to create a recipe using school-grown produce.
Camelia Paton-Devine and her enthusiastic team of 10 swept the board with their Allotment Cottage Pie, which contains a myriad of vegetables grown at school, including potatoes, carrots, kale, chard, aubergine, runner beans and small plum tomatoes. Absolutely delicious!
