Growing the Future: Children, Food, Farming & Sustainability

Breakout Tent

Chaired by Olivia Shave, this session highlights two initiatives bringing learning to life on farms across the UK. A nine-year partnership between Barnham CEVC Primary and Euston Estate shows how farming and sustainability can shape the whole curriculum. The Sustainable Food Trust’s Beacon Farms Network connects schools with over 40 farms, helping children understand where food comes from and why sustainability matters. Speakers will explore how farm-based learning builds confidence, inspires careers, and nurtures the next generation of environmental stewards.
