A FREE new education programme 'The Academy of Food', designed to help children understand where good food comes from, is being launched by Morrisons. With the introduction of the new curriculum this month, the new Academy of Food website will help Tavistock's school children, from seven to 14, discover how Morrisons' food is produced. It is packed with lessons, activities and videos on farming, fishing, baking and growing that link to the new curriculum. Schools will be encouraged to visit Morrisons in Tavistock to see the journey of food from field and sea through to point of sale. While in store, children can also learn from academy-trained butchers, bakers and fishmongers, to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare delicious, healthy dishes. Andy Shepherd, store general manager at Morrisons Tavistock, said: 'As a fresh food retailer we think it's really important that children understand exactly where their fresh food comes from, which is why we think we're in a unique position to respond to the recent curriculum changes. We know that our in store butchers, bakers and fishmongers are a great way of telling the wider food story and the Academy of Food will allow us to do this.' The Academy of Food website can be found at http://www.academyoffood.morrisons.com">www.academyoffood.morrisons.com To access the Academy of Food and its resources, teachers should log on to the new website to complete a short registration. To book a store visit, teachers can contact the store's community champion to make arrangements. Through the successful Let's Grow programme Morrisons has given away more than £18.5-million worth of equipment to over 26,500 schools, meaning 5-million children up and down the UK now have access to Let's Grow gardening and cooking equipment.
