The programme is now closed for applications. We’re excited to introduce our new cohort of ambassadors early in 2026.
The Student & Young Farmer Ambassador Programme is a two-year long series of events designed to give NFU Student & Young Farmer members 30 years old and under the opportunity to impact the future of the agricultural industry by working with the NFU and to put their own stamp on the future of British farming.
New for 2026
The NFU are now extending the programme to cover two years and there will be more alignment with our regional member development programmes.
Media training and the ability to create content across our social, digital and print platforms remain a central part of what the new NFU Student & Young Farmer Ambassadors will do.
They will also be representing young farmer views in the corridors of Whitehall and Westminster and supporting NFU campaigns and events.
Why take part?
- This is an opportunity to represent the younger generation of farmers within the UK’s biggest farming membership organisation.
- Create long standing relationships with like-minded people from all farming sectors around the country.
- Experience new aspects of the agricultural industry.
- Be at the heart of political change as it unfolds.
- Help the farming industry become more progressive and break boundaries.
- Hone communication, presentation and networking skills to further professional development.
- Increase your knowledge of the inner workings of the NFU.
- You will receive training to enable you to write for national publications, present to schools, speak to the media and engage with MPs.
