Food and drink education

Food education programmes and funds are important tools for supporting the objectives of the Good Food Nation. They aid in the promotion of knowledge, health, environmental sustainability, prosperity and social justice.

We are a major financial contributor to the Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) to deliver their extensive programme of farm education visits and activities for school children between the ages of 5 and 18. In the 2023/2024 financial year, we provided RHET with a grant of £220,000 to support and increase the number of children engaging with the programme.

RHET provide an agricultural learning experience for thousands of children every year. They do this using a mix of in-person and digital engagement resources, enhancing the food education children and young people receive through our national ‘Curriculum for Excellence’.
