The National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) and British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB) have launched a new initiative to encourage new entrants into the seed industry and agricultural contracting.

Working in partnership, the organisations have drawn up careers information (attached) to give new entrants a starting point where to look for opportunities from plant breeding, to seed processing.

Commenting Jill Hewitt, NAAC Chief Executive said, “The seed industry is often overlooked, but seed production, planting and processing are key elements of food production and there are numerous rewarding opportunities from seasonal work to longer-term career prospects. We have provided several case studies from enthusiastic members of the industry, to showcase just a few of the roles that are available. We are looking for a range of staff from research through to machine operators and we would encourage anyone interested in shaping the next generation of food to get in touch!’ Download your copy of the careers flyer here.
