Research Project: How to attract and retain more people from non-agricultural backgrounds in the agricultural and agri-food sectors?

Can you support a research project reviewing how to attract and retain more people from non-agricultural backgrounds in the agricultural and agri-food sectors?

 

If you are over 18, from a non-agricultural background, and either:

- currently working in agriculture and agri-food, or

- working towards a career in agriculture and agri-food e.g. on a course, or taking a qualification in this area, or

- have previously worked in agriculture and agri-food,

then please take 10-15 minutes to complete this survey https://harper-adams.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/aearesearch

The results of this work will contribute to a research report which will be shared with training and education providers across the sector, to develop a better understanding of how and why people come to careers in agriculture and agri-food, and how these new entrants can be supported more effectively.
