Young farmers are being invited to find out more about the Government’s proposed changes for the future of farming post-Brexit and to share their views at a series of regional events.
The events, organised by The National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (NFYFC) in conjunction with Defra, will explain how the changes will directly impact young farmers.
Defra representatives will join young farmers to talk about their proposed changes for farming once we leave the EU, including the new Environmental Land Management scheme.
The aim is to give young people the opportunity to share their opinions on what the future of farming should look like.
NFYFC’s Agriculture and Rural Issues (AGRI) Steering Group chairman David Goodwin said: “Now more than ever is a time to get together to share views and help shape a future that we would like to farm in.
“We have ensured that these regional events are as accessible as possible for our membership and guests who have a shared interest in ensuring the Defra policy-makers hear first-hand what are feasible regional ideas for future policy.
"I urge all young people with an interest in the future of this industry to take part in their regional event.”
In the South West, an event will be held at Sedgemoor Auction Centre in Bridgwater on December 5 at 7.30pm.
