Growing Together: Enhancing People Management in Agriculture

Agriculture is a vital industry in Australia, but one of the significant challenges it faces is the lack of available skilled staff to support its growth. In an effort to address this issue, the Australian People in Agriculture Forum has launched an initiative called "Growing Together: Enhancing People Management in Agriculture."

This forum aims to improve the people management skills of growers, increase access to highly capable individuals to support agricultural industries, and build a network of people leaders. By bringing together leading researchers, advisors, and growers for a one-day event in Adelaide, the forum seeks to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing in the agricultural community. One of the primary goals of the forum is to address the shortage of staff for permanent and casual roles on broadacre farms. By enhancing skills and knowledge around people management on farms, the initiative aims to reduce the impact of staff and skills shortages on Australian agriculture. To reach a broader audience and attract participants, the forum will leverage social media platforms to promote its events and initiatives. This strategic approach will help in raising awareness about the importance of effective people management in agriculture and encourage more individuals to participate in the forum's activities. Improving people management skills in agriculture is crucial for the sustainable growth and success of the industry. By creating a supportive network of people leaders and providing opportunities for knowledge exchange, the Australian People in Agriculture Forum is playing a vital role in shaping the future of agriculture in Australia. As the forum continues to expand its reach and impact, it is poised to make a meaningful difference in addressing the current challenges faced by the agricultural sector. Through collaboration, education, and innovation, the forum is helping to pave the way for a more resilient and thriving agricultural industry in Australia.
