Check understanding

  • Match plants and animals to the products they give and the production system they come from (e.g. wheat → bread → cropping, cotton → T-shirt, pine trees → timber, wool → livestock, farmed salmon → aquaculture)
  • Describe the main steps in producing one food or fibre and who does each step (e.g. bread: the farmer grows wheat, the miller makes flour, the baker bakes; cotton: planting, irrigating, picking, ginning, spinning)
  • Describe one First Nations food production practice (e.g. stone fish traps or managing plants with fire) using a school-approved source
“At the supermarket, can your child tell you how different foods were produced — grown as crops, in orchards, on grazing farms or in fish farms?”
