The project provided pupils with the opportunity to learn about local food production, sustainability, cooking, marketing, and agriculture. Castell Howell supplied vegetables grown in the Gower fields through its supply chain, and delivered them to the school.
Ed Morgan, group corporate social responsibility manager at Castell Howell Foods, said: “We are so proud to have been involved in this initiative, and winning this award is the cherry on top of the cake.
“We hope this collaboration between supply chain partners can develop and flourish, and continue, not only to improve children’s food, but to nurture and inspire the next generation of horticulturalists.”
