Tom Aikens: "For children to grow something simple from a very early, eating it, tasting it, making something with it, is priceless."

Tom Aikens was the youngest British chef to receive two Michelin stars, and is a huge advocate for farming - what he can't grow himself, he sources from British farmers for his restaurants.

This year, for the first time ever, Tom is our #farm24 chef ambassador, meaning now more than ever, 24 Hours in Farming can reach more members of the public.
