Feeding the Future
Our exciting 2025 program aligns with Australian Curriculum, features new classroom resources and involves 15 competitions from gardening to cheese making and photography to video production.
These competitions give students the opportunity to have a fun, hands-on experience in the classroom while learning about how agriculture plays an essential role in their everyday lives.
Importantly, it focuses on the global theme - ‘Feeding the Future’ – which explores food production, technology, innovation, and environmental agricultural practices as the world builds a sustainable future.
In 2025, our competitions are aligned with both Version 8.4 and Version 9 of Australian Curriculum to provide teachers an ease of application in the classroom.
