With home schooling on the agenda for at least the next few weeks, the new digital tool from Quality Meat Scotland’s (QMS) Health & Education team, Farming Foodsteps, is offering a different way to engage in the sciences, home economics, maths and geography.
The free interactive resource is aimed at secondary school children and supports teachers and pupils in subjects across the curriculum through the story of red meat production, from field to plate.
The interactive tool was developed when the first lockdown started in March 2020 by QMS’ H&E team of two - Jennifer Robertson and Alix Ritchie - to replace the education sessions and cookery demonstrations they usually deliver in schools, alongside on-site teacher training workshops and supporting RHET Food and Farming visits.
