Agriculture and horticulture are rapidly evolving industries, protecting the environment while producing nutritious food in a sustainable way. Research, innovation and developing technology is a now a fundamental part of the industry.
To ensure farmers and growers adapt to changing consumer demands and adopt these new technologies, the way in which they farm, the equipment they use, and the skills they require are also evolving.
That's why we're working with a group of industry experts and researchers to identify the skills farmers and growers will need in the future.

We're evolving too
Whether it's drones and data, or robots and regulations, farming and growing is changing fast. As such, new skills and knowledge are continually needed to ensure businesses keep pace and thrive in the future.
That's why we are setting up a Future Skills group - a panel of industry experts and leading researchers who will review how farming and growing is changing, the impact this will have on the workforce, and how we can help equip the industry to handle this evolution.
