Introduction

Take your children on a potato discovery adventure.

We have resources which focus on two distinctly different areas. The first is global and gives the children a perspective of how one food can make a huge impact on people and communities, and the second focuses on each child and aims to show how to impart skills and foster personal responsibility..

These two areas combine to give children knowledge and understanding that can better equip them in this complex world they live in.
• It’s all about us - understanding the sustainable role of potatoes in feeding the world
