Key aims:

FACE operate a "one stop shop" for all those concerned about making sure that children understand how their food is produced, and how the countryside is looked after.

In order to reduce confusion and duplication of effort we will be:

forging links with schools to ensure that teachers know exactly how FACE can
help them bring alive classroom study about food, farming and countryside issues;

working closely with farmers and their families to help make certain that the visits
they host are fun, memorable and above all - useful;

joining forces with publishers of educational materials - from leaflets and books
to posters and videos - so that FACE is always able to sent out the right materials,
of high quality, and;

working with student teachers in universities and colleges to raise awareness of
the value of farm and horticultural nursery visits.
