The 2018 Farming Futures Committee warmly welcomes you to
browse our Prospectus for the 2018 Careers Fair, Schools Program

Our Vision
Farming Futures is a student-run initiative that was founded in 2011
at the University of New England. Our vision is to create networking
opportunities for students with private corporations and organisations,
aiming to ensure future employment for those students in industries
dedicated to the agricultural sector.
