The Farming Foodsteps resource has been created to aid teachers and parents in delivering education about the red meat food system – from farm to fork.
The resource has been created to be taught from this platform but if you would rather, downloadable lesson plans are available within each of the lessons.
Watch the video below to find out what the lessons contain and how the educational resource has been designed to work.
Download our Education Toolkit PDF full of information about educating young people all about the red meat food system covering subjects such as Farming, Sustainability, Health and more.
In addition to the Farming Foodsteps resource, the Quality Meat Scotland Health and Education team offer the following services:
We can arrange a chef/demonstrator to visit the school to deliver cookery demonstrations or cook-a-longs (terms apply) in-school. The chef/demonstrator will cook a dish whilst discussing various topics including; the importance of a healthy, balanced diet, the role of red meat in the diet, assurance schemes and the logos on meat packaging and what they mean.

The QMS Meat Voucher Scheme is an initiative to encourage secondary schools to get pupils cooking with quality, Scottish ingredients to create nutritious meals. The scheme provides home economics departments of secondary schools in Scotland with a voucher worth up to £180 to spend on fresh red meat from a local butcher shop. This is for use by students on home economics and hospitality courses only. Applications open in each new academic year.
