Industry Links
Students benefit from close ties with the National Farmer’s Union (NFU) and Young
Farmers, as well as regional societies and farming clubs. The College also undertakes an exchange with another land-based college and students are encouraged to attend relevant industry conferences.
A thriving agricultural sector is fundamental to producing food, preserving the countryside, reducing greenhouse gases and ensuring the survival of whole communities. By taking a course at Hadlow College you can become part of an industry which is currently worth £17bn, produces 60% of the UK's food requirement and, given the concerns about food-miles, is destined only to grow.
You will gain real-life practical experiences in all areas of the subject from livestock and cereal production to countryside access, conservation, animal welfare, sustainable land management and modern farming practices. All our courses are tailored to equip you with the skills you'll need throughout your working life and to potentially run your own business. Read more about Agriculture & Sustainability Courses
