The ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Guardian Podcast: View from the Classroom - "Many of my students don't come from farming backgrounds...they have fantastic ideas"

The fight to get farming embedded onto the National Curriculum is in full swing, and in this episode online editor Emily Ashworth speaks to Zak Hammersley, an agricultural lecturer, about the diverse mix of students coming into the industry, and how despite the current political climate, the future is bright. Olivia Shave, founder of the petition to get farming into schools also celebrates having over 14,000 signatures so far, and discusses the Government's somewhat 'lacking' response.
