The Higher Health and Food Technology course addresses contemporary issues affecting food and nutrition, including ethical and moral considerations, sustainability of sources, food production and development, and their effects on consumer choices. Learners analyse the relationships between health, food and nutrition, and plan, make and evaluate food products to a range of dietary and lifestyle needs.
Pupils will also undertake an assignment with a given brief consisting of planning; production; product testing and; evaluation which accounts for 50% of their overall mark and the other 50% is the written exam. |
