Sharefarming solution as soaring land prices keeps young hemp oil producers out of property market
As land prices soar on the North Coast of New South Wales, aspiring young farmers Hanna Navara and Leon Hoffmann-Detenhoff turned to sharefarming as an alternative to owning their own land.
Key points:
- Soaring land prices can be prohibitive for young people looking to get into agriculture
- Sharing land with an established farmer is a way young people can make a start in the industry
- Those involved in sharefarming say a contract is important but so is communication
Ms Navara, 28, has spent the past three years studying alternative farming methods such as permaculture and regenerative farming.
She was originally looking to run a market garden but turned her attention towards hemp — particularly seeds and oil.
