To inspire kids to learn where their food comes from through Landcare Australia grants.

Whilst association and support for Landcare was worthwhile for the schools and students, by just sponsoring the school grants there were limited opportunities to engage on key messages with the schools. More direct communication and engagement with schools program would likely be more impactful.
