About Agriculture-4-U
Agriculture-4-U E-Learning
Having been born and breed a farmer; it is in my blood - although I am no longer actively farming myself, I have never lost the love of farming and the countryside. I have switched to teaching how food is produced. From rural to inner city schools; to infants and junior schools as "Farmer Mark" to GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition - Food Provenance in secondary schools; even adults being educated in prison, and now to agricultural apprentices, I seek to share the knowledge and learning I have accumulated first with tomorrows consumers and now tomorrows farmers.
