Abstract

Curriculum development must start with a needs analysis - namely consulting practitioners. This paper uses data which indicates how farmers/farm managers spend their working time and the management skills they employ. Also, farmers/farm managers have been surveyed for their views on management skills they consider they will need and the challenges they will face as they manage farms into the 21st Century. Drawing on the information collected from practising farmers/farm managers some basic principles for future curriculum development and delivery are then proposed for farm management teaching into the 21st Century. While it will continue to be important for future managers to be technically sound and up to date with basic farm management skills - undoubtedly, new challenges lie ahead. These will include teachers as regards new delivery methods, and learners in terms of new skills and technology.
