When I met with Farmer Tom a few years ago, I was really interested to hear about the innovative ways he was connecting young students in the classroom with farmers out in the fields, more details about which you can find, here: https://leaf.eco/farmertime/home. Further to this, it was great to be back on the farm with Tom this afternoon to hear how ‘Farmer Time’ has grown - locally, nationally, and internationally - and to speak with other local farmers too over a cup of tea about the challenges facing agriculture and the general outlook. It was a really useful meeting, in beautiful surroundings on a lovely afternoon, with important feedback to take away to raise with DEFRA Ministers. Thank you for having me!
