The Farm as a Business - supported online teaching session

Learn how to plan engaging and challenging lessons for GCSE Business Studies, bringing the syllabus to life.

Learn how to plan engaging and challenging lessons for GCSE Business Studies, bringing the syllabus to life with the use of memorable and inspiring real life case studies.

  • What is a successful business and who are the stakeholders within the food industry?
  • How important is the workforce in an industry experiencing a technological revolution?
  • What impact do social trends and environmental schemes have on local, national and global markets?
  • What does financial planning look like for an industry reliant upon the weather and the global economy, both of which it has no control over?

You will leave the session with an insight into the agricultural industry, the risks and rewards of the modern farm, and ready to teach these topics with confidence and with plenty of ideas for engaging activities. You will also be equipped to signpost your students to STEM career and Higher Education opportunities related to these topics.

We don’t have any planned dates for this event right now but we can deliver all our activities on-demand, or our team of experienced educators can create tailored experiences for your specific needs.
