It’s amazing how many meals you can get from one chicken! Do you and your family sit down to a roast chicken on Sundays? If so, the leftovers can be used to create a delicious 1__________ , a yummy 2__________ or simply a great 3__________ for sandwiches.
Talking of 4__________ , what do you do with your 5__________ ? I cut them up and fry the pieces in a little 6__________ – then chop them up and put them in salads and 7__________ .
Did you know that more 8__________ are wasted than any other 9__________ ? Don’t throw them away – mash them or fry them for your next meal, or freeze them for later. In fact, whenever there’s some dinner left in the pan, put it in a bag and freeze it.
Don’t throw away those black 10__________ – fry them in brown 11__________ or mash them up and add 12__________ for a tasty dessert.

4.5 Grammar (Future Continuous and Future Perfect)
1 Insect burgers
Meat is becoming a luxury and many experts predict that everyone 1__________ (eat) insects in twenty years’ time. However, we 2__________ (not cook) plates of ants or grasshoppers! By that time, scientists 3__________ (develop) special insect farms. The insects will be harvested and their meat will be prepared. By the time the meat reaches supermarkets, food workers 4__________ (prepared) it – they 5__________ (cut) it up into tiny pieces and made it into meat such as burgers or fillets. You won’t know you’re eating insects because the meat will taste delicious!
2 Skyscraper farms
By 2050 scientists predict that people 1__________ (build) skyscraper farms in cities. In these farms, people 2__________ (grow) different fruits and vegetables and they 3__________ (farm) fish too. The buildings won’t just be farms, though. People 4__________ (live) and working in them. We won’t need to bring food to our cities because it will be grown in them! In just a few years’ time, we 5__________ (solve) the problem of feeding people in cities!
3 Super rice and other new crops
The plant researcher Zhikang Li and his team are developing a new crop. They call it ’green super rice’. It is not a genetically-modified crop – it is a cross of different varieties of rice. By the time they finish, they 1__________ (try) to cross over fifty varieties to produce the super rice. They are hoping that people all over Asia 2__________ (plant) the rice soon. If everything goes well, over 100 million people 3__________ (eat) super rice in a few years’ time! By that time it’s possible that scientists 4__________ (develop) other super crops too.
4 Farming in the desert
You can’t grow food in the desert because it’s too dry and there’s no soil, right? Wrong! Charlie Paton, a British inventor is working on special greenhouses for deserts. He believes that in ten or twenty years’ time we 1__________ (use) enormous greenhouses to grow food in the desert. The first ones will be in Jordan, and soon people 2__________ (start) to build greenhouses there. If they are successful, by 2015 other countries 3__________ (build) greenhouses too. People in many different African countries 4__________ (eat) food from these greenhouses. The greenhouses 5__________ (generate) electric power too!
