Africa<\/h3><p>How did climate and geographical changes affect what people eat in Africa?<br \/>This activity sheet (by: Dr. Galit Botzer) takes us on a journey through time, from hunting and gathering to cultivating grains and root vegetables.<br \/>We will discover millet, which is adapted to dry regions, and the sweet potato, which starred in the rainforests.<br \/>We will learn about the foundational principles of African nutrition and get an idea of how to prepare a similar sweet potato dish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
