Young Farmers in England refers to the National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs (NFYFC), which is an organisation dedicated to supporting young people in rural areas. NFYFC provides opportunities for personal development, social interaction, and skill-building through a network of local Young Farmers' Clubs (YFCs) across England.
