Revaluing Horticultural Skills
The people who grow fresh produce are vital to human health, but their work is often regarded as unskilled. Like other land-based careers, hands on roles involving work with plants face recruitment challenges. This talk shares insights from research into UK horticulture which celebrates the value and skill of food cultivation. The presentation will showcase initiatives seeking to upskill future growers, and what trainees in Wales experienced.
