    The NFU has announced that applications are now open for the latest cohort of Student & Young Farmer Ambassadors; looking for young people who are passionate about British food and farming and willing to represent the voice of the next generation in agriculture.

    The year-long programme has been running for four years and gives successful applicants the opportunity to advocate for the industry at key events. It runs alongside the NFU’s Next Generation Forum, Poultry Industry Programme, Cereals Development Programme and the Sugar Industry Programme to support a new generation of farmers.

    NFU president Minette Batters said: “The Student and Young Farmer Ambassadors are really important to the work of the NFU, helping to represent the voice and views of young farmers and highlighting the work that needs to be done to secure their future and the future of the industry.

    Applications Have Launched

    “Over the past three years, we have been incredibly lucky to have some fantastic ambassadors who have gone on to do brilliant things. I know that this year will be no different with them continuing help to raise the profile of British farming and underpin its vital importance.

    “I’m incredibly proud of the programme’s commitment to inclusivity and I am committed to ensuring this remains an integral part of our ambassador programme. Diversity and inclusion are absolutely critical for any successful industry and we want to hear from anyone who feels passionately about agriculture and wants to champion the future of farming.”

    Jess Langton, East Midlands representative in 2021/22, said: ‘The Student & Young Farmer Programme has given me a chance to share my experiences of the agricultural industry with other like-minded individuals. It’s enabled me to make many connections and given me opportunities I wouldn’t have had any other way. Being part of a diverse group of ambassadors has meant we’ve all bought something different to the group and continue to learn from each other.”

    Zoe Legg, South West representative in 2020/21, said: “I would say the biggest thing the programme has given me is confidence. I feel like it has given me a valid voice within the industry and encouraged me to share my views and opinions on elements of the agricultural industry that will affect my future.”

    Applications are now open for people between 18 and 26 in England and Wales. Those interested can apply at www.nfuonline.com
