Year of Food and Farming
Year of Food and Farming
September 2007 - July 2008
The Year of Food and Farming is an initiative aimed at helping young people learn more about how food is grown and produced and how it reaches the consumer. It will also help children learn more about:
- what happens on a farm and an idea of life in the countryside
- how to prepare and cook food
- how nutrition can contribute to a healthier lifestyle
- leisure, sports and employment in the countryside
David Miliband, ex-Secretary of State for DEFRA, unveiled the initiative with chair of the Government's Sustainable Farming and Food delivery group Sir Don Curry at the Food and Farming - Reconnecting a new generation conference in November 2006.
The Year of Food and Farming is coordinated by FACE and has its own website
"As consumers we have a great deal of power when it comes to buying food," said Mr Miliband, welcoming the campaign. "As well as influencing our health, the choices we make really do make a difference to our countryside, the environment, and to tackling the biggest challenge we all face: Climate change. "Consumers need to make informed choices, and where better to start than in educating the next generation"
