NSW Farmers is a not-for-profit association of farmers and stakeholders of the agricultural industry. Its members gather in branches across NSW to discuss issues affecting their businesses and learn more about agricultural topics they consider important. The organisation’s grassroots branch structure creates a framework for agricultural knowledge transfer and for identifying issues that affect farmers at local, state and federal levels. NSW Farmers is a lobby group for the farming sector, championing the rights of farmers and rural communities at all levels of government and with industry stakeholders. Apolitical and independent from government, with policy driven from the ground up, the organisation acts proactively, responsively and with integrity. NSW Farmers will participate in various CRC projects across the state.
