Attitudes towards food developed at this age is a strong determinant of later eating behaviours.&nbsp; Many preschool-aged children suffer from low consumption of access to fruits and vegetables.&nbsp; With this Farm to Fork Preschool Programme, the school created an ideal way to establsih healthy patterns and understanding of the food the children eat and where it comes from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Approach: <\/strong>How did you proceed?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lessons focused on the job of the farmer which was subdivided in the growing of crops and the rearing of livestock.
