Comment: Scholar keen to learn lessons in pigs
After being awarded a Nuffield scholarship you quickly become aware of the calibre of people who have gone before you. Some of the most forward-thinking people involved in agriculture have also had the amazing opportunity to pursue their passion and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to follow in their footsteps.
Working in and around farming since finishing university, I had been aware of Nuffield scholarships for a long time but never thought it was for me. However after some lean times on the farm I thought that there has to be a better way of doing things. The pig industry has undergone many changes over the past 10 to 15 years and the pace of change is not slowing down. For my scholarship I want to look at what that change could be, what the impact is going to be for us in the UK and how we can adapt and thrive in the future.
