More than 70 young farmers are embarking on a pioneering programme to drive sustainable agriculture.
Learners from across the food and farming sector attended the inaugural session of the Future Farmers Programme, delivered by Harper Adams University
The first cohort of around 75 learners gathered for their first in-person event on the university’s campus near Newport, marking the start of a nine-month course. “One of the school’s core purposes is to develop new talent in the agri-food sector and develop knowledge of sustainable food supply. That knowledge sharing will be critical, and we hope that this group of learners will go on to continue disseminating what they gain here even further through the industry.”
Tesco head of sustainable agriculture, Natalie Smith, told attendees: “We’re facing both a climate and a biodiversity crisis and we’re seeing the impact of that in the UK on an annual basis.
