Welcome to ‘Give Peas a Chance’. Something exciting is happening in your school’s dining hall. A new climate friendly, nutritious plant protein grown in Aberdeenshire is now featured in new recipes on school menus across Aberdeen City. Bring the learning from the dining hall into the classroom and beyond with our second level learning resources covering health and wellbeing, STEM and social studies sharing the story of Farmer Phil’s locally grown organic peas.
