Agriculture should no longer be viewed solely as a person working their heart
out on a farm. Science and technology have paved the way for large agricultural
advancements. The industry is only going to get larger and have more demand, but
the resources, technology and methodology of our agriculture sector needs to be able
to supply enough to meet this demand. This demand sheds a very important light on
the roles students and workers in Agriculture will play in Australia’s future.
The agrictulture industry currently has a very high average age of its workers, which
is unsustainable. Due to this, many opportunities have opened up in the sector for
young people looking to make their mark. Further, it is an industry where there’s also
great benefits to reap personally, which can only be expected to increase in the future.
