Farming, the Biggest Job on Earth
Farming is fundamental to the world’s wellbeing and there has never been a more challenging time for farming, farmers and the industry with tightening regulations, rising costs, feeding an ever-growing population, looking after nature, and balancing land use.
That’s why we believe farming is the biggest job on earth. And although the industry faces these hurdles, we know that with challenges comes great opportunities. As it gets more complex, we stand committed to finding the right balance so that farmers, our industry and future generations can all flourish.

Why Farming Matters Schools Resource
In collaboration with LEAF Education we’ve relaunched ‘Why Farming Matters’ for primary school teachers to support young people in their learning and understanding in literacy, maths, debate and critical thinking all through the medium of farming, food production and the natural environment. The resource covers areas including the importance of soil, energy production, food provenance, water use and biodiversity on farm. The free resource is available online or you can order a physical copy.
