Farming to Food Show in pictures

Over 1000 schoolchildren got up close to farming and food at a special show in the heart of London this week, for which the Farmers Weekly’s Kids Connect Campaign was the media partner.

The following is a picture round-up of the day. (Pictures by Jonathan Page)

David Sedgeman explains where milk comes from – well, sort of. The foot and mouth crisis meant only cardboard cows could make the show.
