Year of food and farming

The Year of Food and Farming aims to promote healthy living by offering young people direct experience of the countryside, farming and food. The Year runs from September 2007 to July 2008 and during that time, there’ll be exciting opportunities for children to:

  • follow the story from 'field to fork'
  • explore the importance of food
  • make informed decisions about food and healthy nutrition
  • watch what happens on a real-life farm
  • experience what the countryside can offer
  • learn more about environmental issues linked to food and the countryside.
