'Following an unprecedented and challenging year for UK agriculture, we are pleased to announce our 2021 Scholars,' said Mike Vacher, Nuffield Farming Director. 'They have been carefully selected for both their passion for their chosen topic, and for their potential as future leaders within UK agriculture.
'Our 2021 scholars have selected a range of topics that span the breadth of the industry, including livestock, soft fruits, aquaculture and workforce diversity. A Nuffield scholarship is a life changing experience, and will no doubt prove invaluable to both Scholar businesses and to the industry as a whole,' Mr Vacher continued. 'On behalf of Nuffield Farming, I wish the 2021 Scholars the very best of luck as they prepare to start their studies. We are excited to hear more about the knowledge and experiences you gain over the course of your journeys. In these ever-changing times, what you bring back with you will play a vital role in driving UK agriculture forward.'
