THREE-QUARTERS of Australian children in their final year of primary
school believe cotton socks come from animals and 27 per cent are
convinced yoghurt grows on trees.
.
A national survey of year 6 and 10 students by the Australian Council for
Educational Research found yawning gaps in young people's knowledge of
basic food origins.
.
In a hypothetical lunch box of bread, cheese and a banana, only 45 per
cent in year 6 could identify all three as from farms.
.
More than 40 per cent in year 10 thought cotton came from an animal and
more than a quarter of their younger peers believed yoghurt came from
plants. In year 10, only 13 per cent identified yoghurt as a plant
product.
.
The Primary Industries Education Foundation, which commissioned the
research to be released today, said the findings were a ''wake-up'' call.

.
The Sydney Food Fairness Alliance, a coalition of producers, food security
experts, gardeners, health workers and nutritionists, said children should
understand how far their food travelled, how it was produced, and the
value of farmers and farmland in society.
.
''The end result of being so separated from our food is that we really
devalue our farmers,'' the president of the alliance, Liz Millen, said.
.
''We tend to think that we've got an endless supply [of food],'' she said.
