Shaping the future of Victorian Agriculture

Published on 13 April 2018

 Young farmers across Moira Shire are being encouraged to help shape the future of agriculture, with Expressions of Interest to join the Young Farmers Advisory Council now open.

Applications are being sought from farmers and those involved in the food and fibre supply chain.

The Victorian Government is seeking highly motivated, skilled and dynamic young people, from all agricultural industries and regions, to join the Council.

The Council will consist of eight members with a balance of representation by gender, industry and region. Collectively, Council members will have a broad range of skills and experience, including farm management, agribusiness, finance, education, international markets and regional development.

Council members will provide advice to government on issues and program delivery for young people working in agriculture.

Council members also act as young ambassadors to attract new entrants to the state’s vibrant agriculture sector and help to shape future support for young people on the land. Expressions of Interest to join the Council close on 11 May 2018.
