Think Food & Farming

Think Food and Farming is the exciting legacy project building on the successes of the Year of Food and Farming. So much has been achieved, particularly at a regional level, that we want to continue to promote these vibrant activities and links which are helping children to understand more about where our food comes from and to involve them in memorable first hand learning experiences. Many new resources have been produced during the year and we hope this interest in engaging our young people will continue. We hope schools will continue to take part in growing and cooking activities and visits to farms for the opportunity to:

Find out how food is grown and produced
Explore why food, and how we produce it, matters
Make informed choices about food and healthy nutrition
Discover what happens on a real-life farm
Experience what the countryside can offer
Learn more about environmental issues linked to food and the countryside
