Can we investigate where food comes from?

Today we are on the next stage of our STEMterprise project. This stage is about the ingredients we are going to use and where they come from.

All the ingredients we are going to use for our yoghurt cafes will have been grown or produced in Britain.

Using ingredients that are grown in Britain is one way that we can care for the environment because it reduces how far the food has to travel to reach our plates. This reduces the need for transport, reducing air pollution.

Yoghurt is a dairy product.

Dairy products are made from milk.
