Why teach all Australian kids about bush tucker?

Teaching Australian children about bush tucker provides a great opportunity to:

• understand the role of the environment in food availability
• learn how totems restrict what food is eaten
• learn about customary uses of native plant species
• appreciate the link between land care and food availability
• recognise the link between climate and sustainable food production
• identify the physical and chemical sciences involved in food collection and preparation.

A great addition to your collection of First Nations resources
