Friends of Nuffield Farming

Would you like to join or can you provide an introduction to other potential ‘Friends of’ Sponsors and support Nuffield Farming to deliver a lifetime of change for Scholars who will help to shape the future of British Agriculture? The value of a Scholarship far exceeds the initial period of study, as many emerge as leaders and mentors for future generations.

My Nuffield has really opened doors for me. Towards the end of my travelling, I started a company with the aim of reducing the need for antibiotics. We've inspired positive change in agriculture on over 1500 UK farms and, as of June 2020, are also now operating in Southern African countries. From concept to international business in 3 years… Thank you Nuffield!

The great thing about Nuffield is that it’s an adventure! It’s starting with an idea, exploring it and coming up with things you didn’t expect. You just need an open mind and a blank sheet of paper - the rest is just exciting. Not only did I enjoy doing it, but the lessons I learnt are still with me now and shaping everything I do today.

For anyone with a passion for food and farming, a Nuffield Farming Scholarship opens doors, creates unique opportunities, and arms you with the gravitas and credibility to lead real, positive change. I know - it’s worked for me.
