The Kids to Farms project has been successful in connecting students with farms through farm excursions and classroom incursions. It has helped over five thousand primary school students in NSW gain knowledge and an understanding of how food and fibre is produced, while also allowing farmers to showcase Australia’s agricultural industries.
This program is developed around the NSW syllabus and helps farmers ensure quality information about their industry is delivered in the classroom.
