“This is a great opportunity for peer-to-peer learning and the sharing of lived experience between young and new entrant farmers in different country contexts, in order to contribute to innovation uptake and agricultural sustainability across Europe”

Supporting the next generation of new and young farmers is critical to the sustainability of agriculture in Scotland and across Europe, but how can we encourage young people to see farming as a future and worthwhile career?

This question will be at the centre of an exciting, international online event to be held on Monday 2nd November, co-hosted by the Scottish Farm Advisory Service and the EU-funded NEFERTITI research project, of which the James Hutton Institute is a partner.
