The benefit that Nuffield Farming Scholarships provide to the industry

This week after Chris’ milk market report, Ben and Will are joined by Rich Walker, dairy farmer from South West Scotland and 2019 Nuffield Scholar to talk us through the findings of his Scholarship looking at ‘British Dairy Exports: The Opportunities and Challenges. We are also joined by Tom Rawson, current Vice Chair of Nuffield’s trustees & a Director of Evolution Farming who along with Rich, take us through their Nuffield journeys; what the Scholarship offered them as individuals in the short-term, including the learning and travel experiences, as well as the ongoing opportunities for them and their businesses. They also discuss the inspiration they’ve gained from others around the globe, not forgetting what they see as the wider value for the industry. Charlotte Merson, Nuffield’s Alumni Officer joins us to explain what the Scholarship involves, how it’s awarded as well as the application process and deadline this year.
