What was the last thing you had to eat? Where did it come from? How was it grown? How was it packaged?
Every day in the UK, we consume huge amounts of food that:
•
has travelled thousands of miles to reach our shop shelves
•
has been treated with a range of chemicals, including pesticides, artificial fertilisers, antibiotics and other drugs.
•
has been packaged in loads of plastic, tinfoil etc.
So what’s the problem?
•
Transporting food around the world is using up precious fuel, causing pollution and making our climate change. The chemicals
that many farmers use are polluting our water and soil, and can damage our health. The packaging used is non-biodegradable
and ends up in landfill sites.
•
As a result, more and more people are now looking for food made using organic, locally grown ingredients.
In this unit you will:
Design and make a product using local and/or organic
ingredients.

add 10 keywords to your vocabulary
Go to the Learning Context page at http://www.stepin.org/index.php?id=fft_learning and look at the Did you know? facts. Follow the
links and collect your own fascinating facts about organic and local food and write them down here.
Go to the Research page at ((need specific address for this part of the site)) and read the case studies about Yeo Valley yoghurts and
organic baby food and the information about organic food and buying locally grown food.
Using words and pictures create a ‘mood board’ within the cogs to illustrate the theme of local and organic food.
Choose an organic food product and answer the following questions by filling in the boxes.
1. What type of food product is it, what
ingredients does it contain and where does
it come from?
2. What type of person do you think would
buy and eat this product?
3. Has it been processed? How? What
equipment was needed to make it?
4. Draw your product. How much does it
weigh? What does it taste like?
5. Separate the food product into its
component parts. Taste each ‘component’
and write down words to describe the
different tastes.

Who is going to buy and eat your product? What do they like?
What don’t they like? Write, draw and stick pictures here to show
the type of customer you are designing for:
Go out and do a survey. Ask some possible customers what they
would like etc. Add their comments into the speech bubbles
below:
How can you combine your ingredients to make your product? Write, draw and stick examples here to show the different processing and
cooking methods you could use.
Using your research, specification and customer profile, draw at least FIVE different design ideas for products made using organic and local
ingredients. Remember to consider the sustainability of your product. Label your drawings and explain any changes that you decide to make
to your design. You can start your ideas on this page and continue on the following page(s)
“Fresh organic food contains around 50 per
cent more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and
other micro-nutrients than food that has been
intensively farmed.”
Remember to evaluate your work as it develops. Ask
yourself;
1. Which is your favourite design and why?
2. How could you improve it?
3. List at least three pieces of equipment you would use to
make it.
4. What other features can you comment on?
Look at your specifications and your design ideas to select the most appropriate design. Draw your final design here.
Draw and write a step-by-step plan for making your product.
Fill in the chart below to show what
equipment you are going to use to make
your product. How do you plan to use
each piece of equipment?
How could you have improved your work on this project? Try to think about the way you worked, rather than about your final product.
Design work
Identify two faults with your design work and suggest
improvements you could make.

Personal evaluation
Overall, how do you think you tackled this project? What were your strengths and weaknesses? What did you enjoy most? What did you find
easy? What was difficult? Try to be as detailed as possible.
Now it is time to judge the quality of your final product using your design specification. In the table below, fill in what you said you wanted
your product to do (your specification) and then say how well your final product does each of these things.
