Rooting for Diversity: Cultivating Farms for Neurodiversity To Thrive

Neurodiversity is part of human biodiversity, emerged through evolution and is present throughout farming. Neurodivergent people bring traits and qualities that can benefit farms. However, misconceptions and unhelpful practices can create barriers that hinder the realisation of their potential and exacerbate problems. Overcoming these barriers can allow individuals to shine, and farms to prosper and become better workplaces for all. This session will be an opportunity both for neurodivergent landworkers to voice and discuss their issues, and for farming generally to learn how the talents of neurodivergent people can benefit farms if hidden barriers are removed.
