Open to all YFC members and next generation farmers
4 July 2020
30 July 2020
The winner will be invited on a virtual visit (if social distancing restrictions are still in place) to the NFU HQ to meet the climate change and communications teams. Winners will also have the opportunity to share their ideas with international climate change policy makers at next year’s COP26 in Glasgow.
The shortlisted videos will be shared through YFC and NFU websites, social media channels and forums helping to showcase the voice of young farmers who are taking action on climate change and advocating others to do the same.
Your ideas will also help to create a bespoke YFC guide for reference and future club activity. Produced in conjunction with Championing the Farmed Environment (CFE), the new guide will help to share important environmental messages for farming and rural enterprises.
There are two age categories for this Challenge – under 18s and over 18s. If you are under 18, you will need to provide contact information for a parent or guardian when submitting your entry so NFYFC can send on a parental consent form.
The government has set a target of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 and the NFU announced an ambition for the food and farming sector to reach that target by 2040.
We want you to share your ideas, or practical examples that you might already be using on your farm to help reduce emissions, in a short video (3 minutes max). You don’t need the final, polished solution, but we want to hear your thoughts on future mitigation methods for any farming and growing sectors or machinery development.
Be creative, bold and brave – you could have the best idea yet that nobody has thought of! Some tips to help:
NFYFC’s tags are @NFYFC (Instagram/Twitter) and National Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs (Facebook).
By entering this competition you give permission for the images to be used by the NFYFC, the CFE and the NFU for marketing and promotional purposes. This challenge will not be part of the NFYFC''s Challenge Finals and will be judged by an external panel.
