Have you ever wondered about the conditions of farmed animals, especially when it comes to the food you put on your plate? In this class students will learn about how the products they choose impact the welfare of farmed animals and how they can make more informed choices. Students will also learn about different labels on common food items sold in the U.K. - this will help you to choose items from farms where the animals were kept in better environments.
This class is great for students of all ages who are wanting to learn more about animal welfare or make more informed shopping choices!
