The Young Farmer Business Project is a joint initiative between the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), NSW Young Farmers Council and NSW Farmers Association, which aims to increase the number of young people in agriculture across NSW.
As part of the initiative, an information hub is being developed to provide business support resources using digital platforms that meet the needs of our younger generation of farmers.
DPI's Young Farmer Project Officer, James Leigo, urged farmers aged between 18 to 35 years to complete the survey.
"The survey now available online is an opportunity for young farmers to tell us what barriers they are experiencing and the support they need to make a career in agriculture," Mr Leigo said.
"Young people are telling me they want a profitable and happy life in agriculture, and that they are willing to consider new models and opportunities to achieve this success."
Options are currently being investigated by the working group to help young people access the knowledge and information they need through the channels they use, in a format that they can understand.
