Ensuring Scotland's school children know where their food comes from,  and the nutrition it offers, is part of the role for QMS Health and Education Managers, Jen Robertson and Alix Ritchie, who promote Scotch Beef, Lamb and Specially Selected Pork in schools.  In this episode, Jen talks about their work with all of Scotland's local authorities, and the creative ways of encouraging red meat inclusion in school dinners and cookery classes. The initiatives, including in class education sessions, cookery demonstrations and food and farming events, reached over 2,500 of Scotland's primary aged pupils from 80 different schools and 320 secondary schools during the 2022-23 academic year, with the Meat Voucher Scheme giving schools cash to buy Scotch Lamb, Beef or Specially Selected Pork from Scotch Assured butchers.
