Hybu Cig Cymru – Meat Promotion Wales (HCC) joined NFU Cymru for their Welsh language live lesson as part of British Science Week on Thursday 13 th March. This year’s lessons focused on climate change and what farmers are doing to mitigate climate change, linking in with scientific themes such as energy, greenhouse gases and animal husbandry. Whilst NFU Cymru farmer members provided information tours of their farms and information about looking after animals, HCC’s Elwen Roberts provided a zero-waste cooking demonstration using PGI Welsh Beef and other local and seasonal ingredients, bringing the farm to fork message to life.

Elwen’s session focused on using leftovers to reduce the environmental footprint of foodwaste. Elwen also covered health and nutrition and the importance of choosing local, traceable meat such as PGI Welsh Beef. She made delicious Welsh Beef Koftes with hidden vegetables, using celery and carrot sticks in place of traditional kebab skewers.

The live lesson was conducted through the medium of Welsh and was aimed at Key Stage 2 pupils.

The session was available to watch live, with interactive elements and received dozens of signs ups from teachers across Wales.
