AS THE country’s farmers grow older, a report has revealed the huge untapped potential of the younger generation.
Young farmers must be given the chance to show their potential, claims a new report.
The study, by Nat-West and The Royal Bank of Scotland, claims millennial farmers are facing serious, unnecessary challenges. As the number of young people entering agriculture continues to fall, those already in the sector are struggling to grow and diversify their farms. The report calls for rapid action to ensure a more joined-up approach from governments and a more flexible finance framework.
