Thefuture is brightfor agriculture globally and it is essential that we here in the UK can build on the expertise of our scientists and farmers to catalyse innovation across the industry.TheFarmer-Scientist Networkbrings senior and successful scientists and farmers together to advise theYorkshire Agricultural Societyand through the Society, advises policy makers in the UK and beyond on issues such as farming practises, food security, sustainable productivity and the ways in which new science and technology can solve problems and underpin  innovation in agriculture.The aim of the Farmer-Scientist Network is to work effectively with the crop and livestock sectors and interact with the supply chains linking producers to food and the many other benefits provided by agriculture.Our goal is sustainable productivity, encouraging and supporting the changes that are urgently needed to bring innovation into farming.We see these changes spanning the technologies, underpinning production and farming practises through to the mindsets of the farmers, but also of the government agencies and private investors.We will work to attract committed young people into a farming career with the prospects of real financial benefits and a real awareness of their self worth and the worth of their profession.We know young farming entrepreneurs, each highly successful and with boundless energy. We are working with these people to reach out to others to also realise their own potential and champion the change to optimism and opportunity.Using the skills, experience and contacts of members of the Advisory Group, we are bringing together new networks and consortia combining the farming, business, research, and educational communities. We are already collaborating to identify opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurial activities that can go forward to attract the co-investment needed to become competitive and successful realities in the market.Farmers, industries and their supply chains to the consumers know the problems, barriers, issues and opportunities. Researchers, entrepreneurs and innovators can design solutions, create new ways of overcoming barriers and realise the potential of opportunities.Together we can achieve sustainable success for the industry and for society.
