FURTHER SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS AND ORGANISERS OF FARM VISITS
We hope that you have decided to get involved in the YEAR OF FOOD AND FARMING and to visit a farm.
To increase the number and quality of school visits to farms The Co-operative is supporting the

The Co-operative is passionate about the food it sells – and in all the stages of its production and
consumption. As Britain's biggest farmer, it also supplies its own stores directly. By supporting the
Schools to Farms scheme and 'connecting' young consumers to food production, it is aiming to help
bring about improved awareness of food production, a greater understanding of farming and, ultimately,
lifelong healthier lifestyles.
