Tommy tomatoes.... the red in the Italian flag

A long read in the Guardian a few weeks ago. Going to be taking a look at this over the summer to add it into my Food project.
Reminds me of the classic representation of the Mezzogiorno in Italy, which Margaret Roberts so carefully dismantled a few years ago. It explores whether slave labour is involved in the picking of tomatoes you may be eating.
Clipped out both parts of the article - the second one focusses on oranges grown for juice.



Read the long tomato piece here. Plenty to unpick and link into a teaching resource.
