September marks the start of a new academic year, and for the land-based industries, it is also a time to look ahead to the next season, the next harvest and the next generation of people who will learn to work with our land.
This Organic September also provides an opportunity to consider how farming is changing and why practical, land-based education has an important role to play in shaping its future.
Understanding the land starts with learning from it
Farming is about much more than producing food. Today's land-based professionals need to understand soil health, biodiversity, animal welfare, sustainability, technology and the environmental challenges facing the industry.
At NKC Hadlow College, learning is closely connected to the real world. Our land-based courses give students the opportunity to develop practical skills alongside the knowledge and experience needed to succeed in a changing industry. Whether working with crops, animals, plants or machinery, our students gain experience that helps bring learning to life.
At NKC Hadlow College, we believe that education can help give the next generation the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to thrive in their careers and to shape farming’s future.
