A BIG thank you to the incredible teachers who work alongside LEAF’s Education.

Your commitment to bringing food and farming into the curriculum, giving children the opportunity to experience life on the farm makes a lasting difference.

We’re so grateful to partner with educators who are inspiring the next generation to understand and value sustainable farming.

A huge thank you to everyone who got involved with 2026

Together, we’ve inspired curiosity in thousands of young people helping them discover where their food comes from and why sustainable farming matters now more than ever.

From classrooms to farms, it’s been incredible to see so many learners engaging with the story of British agriculture alongside global farming too.

Educating young people about the environment has never been more important. By helping pupils understand where their food comes from, how farming works & the role nature plays, we empower them to make informed choices for the future.

We strive to take learning beyond the classroom, connecting children with real-world farming & the environment. These experiences spark curiosity, build knowledge & nurture a lifelong respect for the natural world.
