Farm to fork

Farm to fork is a journey that your food goes on from the day it’s harvested or grown on a farm, all the way until it ends up on your plate at home. It’s like a journey that your food takes, from the farm to your fork.

Firstly, the farmer plants seeds or raises animals on their farm. They take care of them and make sure they’re healthy and growing up strong. The farmer may also use tools, machines, or animals like tractors or horses to help them grow the food.

When the food is fully grown and ready to be harvested, the farmer picks or collects it from the farm. Sometimes they use machines to help them do this too. Then, the food is put into containers or packages to keep it fresh for the next part of the journey.

Next, the food is transported on trucks, trains, planes, or ships to different parts of the country or even the world. People who work in transport help to make sure the food gets to where it needs to go safely and on time.

Once the food has arrived at a store or supermarket, people like cashiers, managers, and assistants help to unpack the boxes or packages and put everything on the shelves. This is where you and your family go shopping and choose the food that you want to eat.

Finally, when you’re at home, you or your parents prepare the food by washing, chopping, cooking, and arranging it nicely on plates. Then, you use a fork (or a spoon or knife) to eat it and enjoy it!

So, farm to fork is all about understanding where the food that we eat comes from, and how many people and processes are involved in making it available for us to enjoy.
