The Rise of the School Farm
There are now 100 school farms in the UK and this number is set to rise.
The past six years have seen a big increase in school farms as the importance of food education grows.
School farms offer a fantastic opportunity for kids to connect with nature and also a way for schools to earn money and feed their pupils well.
