In February and March 2012, I participated in the Nuffield Global Focus Program and travelled to 8 countries on 4 continents in 6 weeks with 7 Australian Nuffield Scholars. We had a jam packed agenda, meeting with farmers, farm organizations, researchers, and government officials. We learned about global aspects of agriculture and how we can contribute to a sustainable, productive and profitable future for farmers.
The second component of my Nuffield Scholarship was an independent study project. My project focussed on the Future of Grain Research: Maximizing Productivity Growth through Partnerships.
You can find my final report here: Future of Grain Research
