Action for Agriculture engages the community and the education sector with the people and the places behind the agriculture sector. "We know we cannot just win the minds of our audience; we must win their hearts. Appealing to our audience by moving emotions will always be central to the mission of the work we do. This is an “all-hands on deck” moment. We want to make sure that every single educator, student, discipline, and profession can see a place where they can connect to the agriculture sector. The goal is to bring everyone to the table. Anyone can participate, With a focus on young people our leadership and career development programs are: • building resilience and supporting young people to thrive • Enabling them to be changemakers • Providing safe places for them to practice what they learn. • Giving them opportunities to open the eyes of the people they meet to the plethora of careers with purpose in the agriculture sector. To have achieve this we have THREE foundation programs: The Young Farming Champions (YFC) The YFC program identifies and nurtures young agricultural professionals and equips them with the skills to be confident communicators and trusted voices. The YFC are the face of our in-school programs and role models for who you can be in agriculture sector.
