The Rise of the School Farm

There are now 100 school farms in the UK and this number is set to rise.

The past six years have seen a big increase in school farms as the importance of food education grows.

School farms offer a fantastic opportunity for kids to connect with nature and also a way for schools to earn money and feed their pupils well.

TV chefs are applauding this innovative approach to education and sustainability.
