Policy and research
We aim to lead and co-ordinate action in keys areas to support a thriving agriculture and horticulture industry.
Our activities are always evidence-based, using information from our own and others’ research.
Actions
Basing our actions on research findings lets us understand how we can act for positive change, whether by supporting farmers, growers and new entrants directly, informing government policy, or helping training providers develop new programmes.
Currently, our two main areas of focus are:
Building the capacity and capability of the workforce in farming and growing.
Co-ordinating an industry-wide plan to improve careers information and attract more people to the industry.
