The 20 questions

1. Which category of ingredient is caught rather than grown or reared?

   • Potatoes, which are harvested from fields
   • Wheat, which is harvested from cereal plants
   • Chicken, which is raised on a farm
   • Fish, which is taken from the wild

2. Which of these ingredients is classed as a grown ingredient?

   • Cod, which is taken from the sea by fishing boats
   • Lamb, which comes from sheep raised on a farm
   • Pork, which comes from pigs raised on a farm
   • Cereals such as wheat, which are harvested from plants

3. Which production method keeps large numbers of animals in confined spaces to maximise output?

   • Sustainable fishing, which protects fish stocks in the sea
   • Intensive farming
   • Free-range production, which gives animals outdoor access
   • Organic farming, which avoids synthetic inputs on the farm

4. Which farming method avoids synthetic pesticides and artificial fertilisers?

   • Battery farming, which keeps hens in small cages
   • Conventional farming, which may use synthetic chemicals
   • Organic farming, which relies on natural methods
   • Intensive farming, which uses high levels of inputs

5. What does a free-range label indicate about the way poultry are reared?

   • The birds have access to outdoor space during the day
   • The birds are caught in the wild and sold fresh
   • The birds are kept only indoors in large sheds at all times
   • The birds are fed only on organic feed from certified suppliers

6. Which statement best describes sustainable fishing?

   • Fishing that catches as many fish as possible in one day
   • Fishing that protects fish stocks so they can be replenished over time
   • Fishing that takes place only in the deepest parts of the oceans
   • Fishing that uses only large nets that trap every fish in an area

7. Which is an advantage of buying local produce?

   • It always contains more additives than imported produce
   • It can reduce food miles and support local producers
   • It always costs less than imported produce sold in the same shop
   • It always has a longer shelf life than imported produce

8. Which is a disadvantage of buying seasonal foods outside their season?

   • They are always much more expensive than out-of-season foods sold in shops
   • They are always lower in nutrients than all other foods
   • They may need to be transported from abroad, which increases food miles
   • They can only be sold frozen in the shops at all times

9. Which advantage of genetically modified (GM) crops is commonly cited?

   • They always reduce the need for any water in the field
   • They always remove the need for fertilisers in farming
   • They are always grown organically without any synthetic inputs
   • They may give higher yields and resist pests in the field

10. A farmer rears cattle on open grass with no intensive feeding indoors. Which production method is this?

    • Hydroponic farming with animals grown in water tanks
    • Free-range or extensive grazing on pasture
    • Intensive farming with animals kept indoors in pens
    • Battery farming with animals kept in small cages

11. Which of these is an example of a reared ingredient?

    • Spinach grown in a field of leaves
    • Rice harvested from paddy fields in the summer
    • Beef from cattle raised on a farm
    • Tuna taken from the open sea by boat

12. Which ingredient is a fruit that is grown rather than reared or caught?

    • Trout, which is caught from rivers and lakes
    • Turkey, which is reared on a farm for meat
    • Mutton, which comes from sheep reared on a farm
    • Apples, which grow on trees in orchards

13. Which farming method is linked to the welfare of animals kept outdoors on pasture?

    • Free-range production, which gives outdoor access
    • Hydroponic growing, which uses water and nutrients only
    • Glasshouse cultivation, which grows crops under cover
    • Intensive farming, which keeps animals in confined spaces

14. Which description of a caught ingredient is correct?

    • It is taken from the wild by fishing
    • It is grown in a field from seed in spring
    • It is picked from a tree in an orchard in autumn
    • It is raised on a farm from birth to slaughter

15. Which caught ingredient may be sourced sustainably by choosing a suitable fishery?

    • Line-caught mackerel from a sustainable fishery
    • Imported bananas shipped by air freight
    • Battery-raised chicken from an intensive unit
    • Glasshouse tomatoes grown under heated lights in a large commercial unit

16. A shopper wants to know whether a product's fruit has been grown without synthetic pesticides. Which label should they check?

    • Organic certification, which shows the farming method used
    • Net quantity, which shows how much is in the pack
    • Use-by date, which shows how long the food keeps
    • Serving suggestion, which shows an idea for serving

17. Which description of intensive farming is accurate?

    • It is exactly the same system as organic farming in every respect and method used
    • It produces large amounts of food quickly but raises welfare concerns
    • It never uses any feed or medicine for the animals in its care
    • It always produces the highest quality free-range meat on the market

18. Which is an advantage of local food sources in terms of freshness?

    • Food can be harvested closer to ripeness and reach shops more quickly
    • Food always has a longer shelf life than imported food
    • Food is always frozen before it reaches the local shops
    • Food is always grown in a glasshouse with controlled heat

19. Which feature is linked to fish caught using methods that avoid damaging the seabed and protect stocks?

    • Intensive fishing, which takes as many fish as possible
    • Battery fishing, which keeps fish in small tanks
    • Factory trawling, which processes fish on board the ship
    • Sustainable fishing, which protects the seabed and fish stocks

20. Why might a cook choose a reared ingredient from a farm that uses free-range methods?

    • To make the meat cheaper than all other options available
    • To ensure the meat is always imported from abroad
