Young Farmers' Council

The philosophy of the Young Farmers' Council, as you will see, is to educate, listen, advocate and interact in an environment which is fun. The Young Farmers' Council serves the purpose of not only organising and implementing events of value to young members of the NSW Farmers' Association, but also to provide a platform of access to information and networks which are of benefit to either personal, professional or business development. 

Five focus areas have been identified by the Young Farmers' Council. These focus areas encapsulate all which will drive continuity, sustainability and value, and are in direct line with the vision of the council.

Key Focus Areas

  1. Membership Base - Develop a membership base of active young farmers and agribusiness professionals across New South Wales.
  2. Membership Services - Provide real value to our members in personal, professional and business development, as well as greater representation within the NSW Farmers Association
  3. Communication - Drive two-way information flow between the NSW Young Farmers Presidential Taskforce and the wider industry (Members, NSW Farmers Association and government)
  4. Resources - Have the necessary means to achieve our goal – both capital, people and intellect through the Association and abroad
  5. Taskforce Development - Provide skills to taskforce members which sets members in good stead to drive positive and effective industry change within the Association and the broader community in the years ahead.
