Economic Development Minister Lyndon Farnham wants farmers and food and drink producers to form the body, named Farm Jersey, which will work closely with Visit Jersey.
Senator Farnham said: ‘I see the board as an advisory panel of a mixture of people from the rural economy, including farmers and people who really understand the rural economy and our Island economy.’
The proposed Farm Jersey board will form part of the Rural Economy Strategy which the Senator intends to present to the States early in 2016.
