2020 is a year of change that will impact global economies for years to come and change agricultural markets.
Now is the time for Australia's proactive agriculturalists to consider a Nuffield Scholarship that will provide the opportunity to research important rural concepts, techniques and systems that will secure the industry’s future in a post-COVID world.
With applications for the 2021 Nuffield Scholarship program open from today, farmers wanting to make positive change in their own businesses, communities and the broader agriculture sector will have the chance to do just that.
Each scholarship is valued at $30,000, and with 20 on offer in 2021, the application period will run until 11 September 2020. Interviews will take place across September and October.

Nuffield Australia CEO and 2013 Scholar Jodie Redcliffe said that although the impact of COVID-19 has led to some differences in the 2021 program, it continues to present an unrivaled opportunity for emerging change-makers in the industry.
“For 70 years, Nuffield has remained committed to ensuring the delivery of high-quality and valuable scholarship programs that drive industry leadership, particularly through periods of adaptation and change,” Ms Redcliffe said.
“With the current changes in both domestic and international markets, tough seasonal conditions and continually shifting consumer demands, agriculture is more challenging than ever, and the future sustainability of our industry depends heavily on innovation and adaptation.
"A scholarship provides a platform to lead this wave of change, by giving inquiring young farmers a life-changing opportunity to take ideas to the next level".
“Access to Nuffield’s extensive global network is what sets this program apart. It enables participants to learn firsthand how other farm businesses are tackling issues and barriers within the sector. Nuffield opens doors that enable them to be exposed to divergent thinking that expands their big-picture understanding of topics,” says Ms Redcliffe.
