YOUNGSTERS at a York primary school made their own contribution to the city's Festival of Food and Drink.
Clifton Green Primary School held a farmers market with help from the Food for Life Partnership which is a network of thousands of schools and communities across England committed to transforming their food culture.
It supports schools to provide fresh, well-sourced and nutritious meals and improve their overall lunchtime experience. The programme helps children, adults and teachers understand the importance of good nutrition and where their food comes from through practical cooking and growing activities and farm visits.
The initiative is led by the Soil Association, bringing together the practical expertise of Focus on Food, Garden Organic, the Health Education Trust and the Royal Society for Public Health. It is free for schools in England to enrol and provides a wealth of resources to support their progress through the award framework.
Clifton green was presented with a Food for Life bronze award for their efforts.
