Children visiting last months's Grampian Food Festival

(Photograph) - Children visiting last months's Grampian Food Festival climbed aboard a 'countryside classroom on wheels', a unit provided by the Royal Highland Education Trust that can be set up in school sites with livestock, feed, crop samples and on-board displays. There are also handwashing facilities so children learn about health and hygiene when in contact with animals. Farmer's wife Alyson Hunter said the aim is to teach children about where their food comes from and what farmers do to maintain the environment.
