Year of Food and Farming

The Year of Food and Farming logo is available for organisations to use to brand activities, events and projects. There is also a family of characters available for use when promoting the Year, in addition to the characters featured in the logo. Please see the brand guidelines for more details about the characters and how they can be used.

In order to use the logo the activity, event or project must support one of the objectives of the Year, listed below.

  • To improve the understanding of young people, their parents and teachers, of the food chain and the role played by farming.
  • To develop curriculum materials and projects on food and farming which can be used in schools both during and beyond the Year.
  • To increase links between schools, farmers and food producers, which will be sustainable well beyond the Year.
  • To raise awareness of the contribution food can make to a healthy lifestyle, and within this increase the understanding amongst young people of what constitutes a healthy and balanced diet.
  • To raise awareness of the career opportunities in the food and farming industries.
  • To increase understanding of the importance of the countryside and environmental issues related to food and farming.

The logo cannot be used for any activity or on any product that works counter to one or more of these objectives. It also must not be used for commercial gain by an individual or organisation.

The brand guidelines give details of a family of characters that can be used in addition to the logo and show some alternative formats of the logo that are available. If you would like the artwork for the characters, alternative logos or have any queries please email [email protected].

To download the logo please register your organisation and give details of your planned activities.
