SCHOOL PROGRAMME
Incredible Edibles
Teaching primary school children all about healthy eating and where fruit and vegetables come from.
Introduction
Incredible Edibles is an experience-based healthy eating project for primary schools. The programme shows children how to grow fruits and vegetables, learn about where food comes from and the importance of quality.
It also highlights the important role that fresh produce plays in a healthy balanced diet and the importance of consuming at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day.

We will also have more opportunities for you to engage with the programme through quizzes and our School of the Month competition.
