Matthew Wilson
Northern Ireland
Matthew Wilson is a young farmer from Northern Ireland with a strong background in livestock production and a passion for the future development of agriculture. He currently works on my family farm, where I am involved in all aspects of daily operations, including cattle handling, animal welfare, machinery operation and general farm management. Alongside this, he brings additional practical skills in construction, welding and engineering, supporting ongoing farm development and maintenance. He is actively involved in the Young Farmers Clubs’ of Ulster, where he has held a number of leadership roles including County Chair, Club Leader and Executive Member. Through this, he has had the opportunity to represent Northern Ireland at both national and international level, developing strong communication, leadership and organisational skills. Matthew is particularly interested in farm diversification and the role agritourism can play in strengthening rural businesses and connecting consumers with agriculture.
