Farmer Time is all about harnessing the power of digital communications to inspire, engage and educate young people about not only the journey from farm to fork but also the everchanging, diverse agricultural industry. Children regularly chat live to their matched farmer from their classrooms through FaceTime or Skype, discuss ideas, ask questions, share knowledge and gain a ‘real-time’ understanding of the issues farmers face every day.

Participating in Farmer Time allows you to communicate directly with the next generation of consumers, bridging the gap between your industry and the public. With over 300 schools already signed up, Farmers across the UK are educating children on not only where their food comes from but also encouraging classroom learning, promoting healthy eating, and inspiring the future food production workforce. By volunteering some of your time to connect with a UK school you will be contributing to the creation of relevant and engaging learning opportunities based on a real-life context.
