With recent research showing that more than one million children across the country have had absolutely no contact with the land, a campaign has been launched to help children find out more about the countryside and where their food comes from through memorable, first-hand learning experiences on farms. Year 8s from St Bartholomew's School, a comprehensive in the rural town of Newbury, visit Rushall Farm, an organic farm in Berkshire.

Teachers often represent a large educated group, close to the community and more liable to be drawn upon to lead civil society. As a result, they can be perceived as a threat to perpetrators of oppressive regimes and teachers' unions, often forming the biggest unions in such countries, are the most likely to oppose tyrannical rule.","stream","[]","[]","['Teachers', 'Persecution']","['Nonfiction television programs', 'Documentary television programs']","https://d3crmev290s45i.cloudfront.net/frames/1004320xxx/1004320724/1004320724-disc001-file001-frame00180-size-exact-570x350.jpg","https://www.remote.uwosh.edu/login?url=http://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?EDIV;1737296" "asp1737295-ediv","","Sue Campbell","2007","15 min","['Estelle Morris meets']","Sue Campbell has been given the task of completely reinvigorating British sport.
