Wacky Wrappers - Staple Foods

The Foods 11/12 classes have been studying staple foods, starting with wheat.  Developing an appreciation of where our food comes from, and the issues farmers face when growing our food, has been the focus.  The fun part....making ravioli and wontons!

In honour of wheat farmers in China who face supply and demand issues (not enough supply), loss of resources like land and water due to rapid urbanization, shortage of labour because people now want to work in the city, and unpredicable weather.
