Introduction

Welcome to the 2022 edition of our Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust Annual Report. You will recognise many similarities in the format to previous years, although, you will also notice a number of changes.

I hope that you will find that it continues to provide a ‘ready reference’ of all our many sponsors and supporters, along with a record of personalities and lists of those achieving special awards over the years. You will find ‘bumper’ sections on our recent activities and reports from many of the Country, Regional and Study Groups.

Your attention is drawn, especially, to the report on the 2022 Contemporary Scholars Conference (CSC) which was a very successful Nuffield International event hosted in Norfolk and London by the Trust. It was unique and ground-breaking in many ways.

This year we have a small number of presenting scholars who have completed their study travels – looking forwards, next year there will be many more!

I very much hope that you will enjoy the whole 2022 Annual Report and that it provides a useful reference and record. Please do contact me in case you have any ideas on how we can develop it further.
