Presented by Dr Nicky Stanley-Clarke and Dr Chris Andrews (Massey University) this seminar will provide a summary of what the research team have learned about young farmer wellbeing. They will also report on the findings of their latest research: Mapping support services for young farmers. Furthermore, the research team welcome feedback from Lincoln academics and professionals regarding their findings, to help identify as priority areas for either future research or support services.
