Farming and Rural Skills

Our farm education activity helps school pupils, school leavers and adult learners develop an understanding of food production systems and sustainable practices in farming.

About our programmes

Whether it’s workshops for school pupils, programmes for school leavers showing an interest in land-based jobs, adult learners looking for new careers, or farming and rural sector workers looking to upskill – we deliver a range of programmes in farming and rural skills.

From viewing an egg in development, to handling newborn chicks, to learning about the dairy industry, our farming education workshops give students hands-on learning and understanding of farming. We teach pupils about sustainability in farming practice, so they develop an understanding of the issues currently facing the planet in producing food for an expanding population.
