Farming & Countryside Education

Farming & Countryside Education (FACE) aims to educate children and young people about food and farming in a sustainable countryside. FACE works with members and partners to promote visits to farms, and to provide easy access to a wide range of high-quality educational resources and activities to complement both school-based studies and outdoor visits. Their aim is to raise awareness of the many opportunities in the countryside for leisure and social activities, and for employment, as well as the journey from farm to fork.
