Do you think that children should learn more about food and farming in schools? 

Join the call for an updated school curriculum that represents British food, farming and food security fairly across the education system. 

Our ambition is for an education policy that empowers young people to make informed decisions about the food they eat by having a curriculum that takes a holistic approach to studying its provenance, nutritional value and the thousands of people who produce and prepare it.

To ensure that food is of national importance, we need to make sure that our children understand more about their food from an early age and that this continues throughout their education.

In 2024, the government launched a review of the curriculum and assessment system.

This review matters because it gives us the opportunity to shape the education system to accurately reflect the financial, cultural and environmental benefits of British food and farming.

We have two main asks of the government:

  1. Improve the quality of food education in school.
  2. Carry out an urgent review of GCSE Biology subject content in relation to farming and food security.
