Analysis by Sky News has found that 97.2% of workers in agricultural, forestry and fishing are white, excluding seasonal workers, making it the least diverse job sector in the country. He said:"We definitely think there needs to be space for everyone to play a part in agriculture in the land-based sector."If we can educate more people, train more people from a broader range of backgrounds, then they'll be more people available in the future who've got the skills and qualifications and interests to make a difference in that sector and jobs.
"I think we also know, let's be realistic, that the land-based sector is a rural sector, and we also know nationally that ethnic minorities are more often in urban areas and that also plays a big role."Firstly, rural parts of the country are far less diverse.But there are some who believe that more should be done to ensure those from ethnic minorities view farming as an accessible job.
