Resources

In collaboration with LEAF Education we’ve relaunched ‘Why Farming Matters’ for primary school teachers to support young people in their learning and understanding in literacy, maths, debate and critical thinking all through the medium of farming, food production and the natural environment. The resource covers areas including the importance of soil, energy production, food provenance, water use and biodiversity on farm. The free resource is available online or you can order a physical copy.

With a growing population, we need to ensure we can produce enough healthy, affordable food in a more sustainable way, reducing the impact on the environment and leaving space for nature. And we need be able to talk about how.

Farming, the Biggest Job on Earth podcast shares experiences from the people that grow our food and care for our environment. In each episode, we talk to farmers about what they do, why they do it, and why despite the ever-changing challenges they face they get up every morning to do their job.
