Global Radar and Local Food

I don't know if any of you saw the episode from Global Radar on Local Food - it is great and fits so well with our kaupapa. I found the visit to Peru to follow potatoes a real eye opener, has anyone grown the Maori potatoes? Have students enjoyed them?


Some of the concepts and language aren't that tailored to our younger students but I think with some scaffolding you could end up having some very interesting discussions! The Guinea Pig Ranch and the systems they are using that ensure everything is local gives a great example of true recycling where one product is turned into another and the cycle continues rather than whatever is produced eventually ending up in landfill.
