Educating Young People Dairy Insight

So, you want to educate young people about farming?

Many farmers recognise the value of educating young people about where their food comes from, but taking it to the next level and actually working with school children can often be a daunting prospect. Yet, it doesn’t need to be. There are a host of schemes available that don’t necessarily involve physically having young people on farm. The key is to find what works for you and access the free advice and support available to ensure any involvement is well planned, safe, educational and fun.

This Dairy Insight provides guidance on educating young people, explores available options, and highlights key considerations to help you make the most of your farm education efforts.
