Members of the Nuffield Farming Scholarship Trust will be at this year’s Pig and Poultry Fair, encouraging visitors to apply for a scholarship, which offers the opportunity for individuals to contribute to the future of the UK pig and poultry industry.
The Trust is passionate about recruiting enthusiastic, progressive and knowledgeable candidates aged between 22-45, who genuinely want to make a change to UK agriculture and their businesses.
The Fair typically attracts individuals who are excited about new developments in the industry and take the opportunity to exchange ideas and knowledge with contemporaries.
“These are the characteristics of a Nuffield Scholar,” explains Doug Wanstall, 2015 Nuffield Scholar, who completed a study on free range egg production and will be at the event.
“I want to encourage anyone with enthusiasm and ideas for the future of the industry to apply. It’s an amazing experience and offers lifelong opportunities to be engaged in the agricultural community.
“The application process is thorough, however Nuffield have a wealth of resources to help you. If you‘re at the Fair, come along to the stand and find out more.
“The team can offer invaluable feedback on ideas for an application which may be looking at biosecurity, genetics, welfare, nutrition, packaging or even energy options. Studies cover the whole spectrum of the industry and the team is happy to help with your ideas.”
The Nuffield team can be found at Aviagen, stand number 3, at this year’s Fair, which is being held on the 10th and 11th May at Stoneleigh.
