RHET are excited to be working in partnership with the DYW Live/e-Sgoil to deliver ‘Talk to a Farmer’ 2024! Over the course of w/c 18th of March, join us to hear direct from Scottish farmers to gain an insight into how food is produced. The wide range of sessions on offer cover learning in sustainability, maths, science, engineering, health and wellbeing, diversification and geography plus many more topics. We have a wide range of farmers lined up and plenty of opportunity to ask questions to ensure your learners leave with a good understanding of how the food system in Scotland works.
The sessions for Talk to a Farmer Week will last for 30 minutes, will take place in Teams (Glow not required) and there will be plenty of opportunity for your learners to ask our farmers lot of questions!
