National Schools Food and Fibre Education Strategy
The National Schools Food and Fibre Education Strategy aims to transform how Australian students learn about the nation’s $80 billion food and fibre sector.
How do young people from non-farming backgrounds pursue a career on the land? And an even harder challenge, how can the same people eventually buy a farm?
Inaugural AgriFutures Rural Women’s Acceleration Grant recipient, Fiona Taylor is a woman on a mission. She wants young people to feel they have a future on the land. With the average age of Australian farmers currently hitting 61, her scheme is set to attract more young people on the land and keep the ones who are already here.
