Home / Education / For Farmers & Businesses

Hundreds of farmers are already involved in engaging, inspiring and moti­vating young peo­ple through expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing, including on-farm and in-classroom activities, to embed an appreciation of British farming into everyday life.

Join us in our work to equip our future gen­er­a­tions with bal­anced and informed insight into food pro­duc­tion, farm­ing and the environment. We give you the knowledge and support you need to get started, even if you've never worked with young people before.

How to get started

There are many ways to con­nect your farm with the class­room and help chil­dren expe­ri­ence food, farm­ing and the coun­try­side and we can help get you start­ed with low com­mit­ment first steps. Whether you’re com­plete­ly new or are look­ing for fresh ideas, LEAF Edu­ca­tion is here to help with what­ev­er type of activ­i­ty you choose.

Plus, our train­ing starts from the very basics, per­fect if you’re just get­ting started.

“Absolutely fantastic workshop, lots of ideas and inspiration. I can’t wait to work with secondary schools to deliver on my farm.”

“It really opened my eyes to see how a farm is run as a multi-million-pound business, and to think about all the decisions the farmer has to make, not just what crops to grow.”
