The Human Microbiome
Discover what the microbiome is and the role it plays in your health and wellbeing.

Our "See & Eat" ebooks each show a different vegetable’s journey from farm-to-fork, and looking at one for a few minutes a day for a couple of weeks can make all the difference when that vegetable then appears on your child’s plate! You can read our ebooks on a smartphone or tablet and, if you wish, personalise them with your child. Or check out the See & Eat activities page for more fun ways to help your child to know and love their greens!
