About the Archibull Prize:
The Archibull Prize is an innovative and fun program which provides student participants with opportunities to meet young farmers and engage in genuine farm experiences, gain knowledge and skills about the production of the food they eat, fibres they use and the environment they live in.
The Archibull Prize is an Art4Agriculture initiative delivered with the support of their funding partners. The program has been running successfully in NSW for the past two years and 2012-2013 will see the Archibull Prize expand to other Australian states.
The program's multilayered activities use art and multimedia to engage students in secondary schools to learn through hands on experience about the challenges of feeding, clothing and housing the world with a declining natural resource base.
Why is this program so important?
The Archibull Prize is an engaging, fun and interactive way of connecting communities with the people who produce their food and fibre.
The program builds a bridge for farmers and communities to reach out to each other, share stories and improve understanding and work through potential solutions together.
