WOMEN
IN
AGRICULTURE
Although still a male dominated
industry women are certainly
now making their mark within
agriculture in the UK. The nature
in which the industry is changing
means that new skills and talent
is
required
to
ensure
sustainability. The Office for
National Statistics reported that
over the past 10 years the
number of women working in the
agricultural industry had risen by
7% resulting in a third of workers
now being female, with more and
more
women
taking
on
agricultural roles.
We have spoken to both clients,
colleagues and friends who
represent the diverse and vital
nature of the role’s women play
in agriculture today and in
guaranteeing it’s future.
