The Young Farming Champions (YFC) program, a cornerstone initiative of Action4Agriculture, is committed to fostering and highlighting the abilities of young leaders and ambassadors in Australia's agriculture sector. This sector is both challenging and rewarding, requiring innovative minds to drive it forward.
Australian agriculture, thriving in the world's most extreme conditions, manages to feed 70 million people globally. To continue and improve this impressive feat, we need the brightest talents in agriculture.
We identify and nurture emerging talent through strategic partnerships, focusing on enhancing their problem-solving abilities, creativity, communication skills, and teamwork.
Our flagship two-year "Cultivate - Growing Young Leaders" program is designed for young professionals in diverse agricultural fields. We offer extensive support including skills training, mentoring, coaching, networking, and storytelling opportunities.
Be a part of a journey where ambition meets agriculture. Together, let's craft a future that is sustainable and nourishing.
YFC share their stories through our school programs including The Archibull Prize and Kreative Koalas.
YFC also share their stories with industry and the broader public through presentations, seminars, conferences, media and social media. Our ultimate aim is that they will take up leadership positions within the industry.
