Emergent Generation Information

A network of young people (18 - 35) and experienced stakeholders building a food system that nourishes people and the planet, following regenerative and agroecological principles. We aim to: ENABLE young people to connect, share knowledge and skills, and access new resources and opportunities. ENCOURAGE and inspire each other to engage with confidence. EMPOWER our community to collaborate and be heard, and to lead activities that have positive impact. The Emergent Generation network is wide and inclusive. We have members from across the farming and food system. They come from rural and urban communities covering all four corners of the UK and beyond. Our community includes young farmers, growers, land agents, agronomists, advisers, facilitators, project managers, contractors, educators, buyers, chefs, researchers, policymakers, campaigners, artists, students, entrepreneurs, the curious, and many more! Many are taking their first or second career steps. All have an interest in agriculture, food, and the environment, and want to make a difference. Although our core audience is young people (aged 18-35), we value intergenerational knowledge exchange and mentoring approaches, welcoming sector leaders and older participants to our events when possible and appropriate.
