What Is The Nuffield Farming Scholarship?
A Nuffield Farming Scholarship is considered an investment in the personal development and knowledge of the scholar, as well as that of their respective industry.
By sharing their findings and experiences, scholars bring fresh insight and ideas that inspire change and drive the industry forward.
Mike Vacher, director of the Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust, explained the important role that Nuffield scholars play, especially during times of change.
“Nuffield Farming Scholarships provide a unique opportunity within the food and farming industry.
Not only do scholars undertake an in-depth, global study about a chosen topic, but they are also in a unique position of influence to share these findings with the wider agricultural community and show the way forward.
“This opportunity provides the foundation for scholars to both succeed in their own business as well as impact the wider industry.”
