Our Impact
LEAF Education members, partners and supporters have a huge impact by enabling our work to engage and educate future generations and through direct involvement with schools.
LEAF Education, in partnership with our members, works to inspire and educate future generations about food, farming and the countryside. We work across the education, farming and food sectors to mobilise farmers and educators to bring farming into a learning context.
For a more in-depth look at our impacts see our 2023 report:
We continue reaching out to young people and working with schools with a focus on secondary school engagement, especially with GCSE students and those interested in land-based colleges.
"The agri-food industry is the backbone of our society."
- Year 10 student
“I learnt lots about how I can support young people and wildlife, and connecting this to stewardship and sustainable farming initiatives. Thank you”
- Farmer
"Teaching our young people about where their food comes from and the work that farmers do is vital. Vital for promoting sustainability, reducing food miles, eating seasonally, and protecting our food security.”
- Donna Ashlee, Vice Principal, LEAF Education Gold Demonstration School
How we do it
With your support
5,000 farmer, educator and organisational members support our work. Their contributions amplify our impact and allow us to create resources for educators, deliver learning experiences and enthuse young people about farming and career opportunities.
Mobilising farmers & educators
Many members choose to get involved directly. We provide training, direct support and other resources to help teachers bring the countryside and classroom together, and we support farmers to work with schools directly to provide on-farm and in-class experiences that connect children and young people to the world of food and farming.
