Purpose and Objectives

To bring the classroom to the countryside and the countryside to the classroom.

To develop a programme of education and training based on active, imaginative and novel ways of covering National Curriculum topics outside the classroom using farm visits as a resource to combine with school based activities.

In conjunction with others to allow every child in England and Wales to visit a farm at least once a school year to gain an appreciation of how food is produced, its impact on the countryside and recognise the part they can play in shaping the local environment.
