Beacon Farms Network
Partnership proposal: Linking farms and schools
As part of the Beacon Farms Network, we will be working in partnership with The Harmony Project & Sustainable Food Trust to bring food and farming education to life on our farm through ‘seeing is believing’ experiences.
What the project aims to achieve:
- Provide young people with increased opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning on farms across the UK using sustainable, biological practices, with clear links to National Curriculum objectives in subjects such as science, geography and history.
- Facilitate deeper understanding in young people of the story behind their food, why we need to move to more regenerative farming, and what farms of the future should look like.
- Empower young people to be able to make more informed food choices that impact positively on their health and that of the planet.
- Inspire young people to consider a career in food and farming.
