Eat your greens — you grew them

HOW do you get children to eat more vegetables?

Get them to grow their own. That’s the solution put forward by Agri Aware as it launched a campaign to encourage 200,000 primary school children to cultivate their own vegetables.

Some 360,000 seeds and plants and 60 tonnes of compost have been used to create almost 4,000 growing kits which will land on the doorstep of every primary school nationwide later this month.
