This clever video stars comedian Bill Bailey, introducing Farming and Countryside Education (FACE) in the UK who are working to educate children about food. In Australia, a national survey commissioned by Woolworths in 2014 found that a third of Australian children struggled to identify fruit and vegetables, and were confused about where produce came from. The study, which surveyed 1601 Australian children aged between 6 and 17 years, revealed 92% did not know bananas grew on plants. Researchers also found that 6 in 10 were unaware that herbs such as mint grow from the ground. (smh.au/lifestyle/life/kids-still-dont-know-where-their-food-comes-from-20140526-zrmk1.html)
