The Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust and the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) have launched the latest Bitesize Guide titled ‘Technology adoption for sustainable farming’.
It highlights key findings, discussions and ideas from the library of Nuffield Farming scholar reports, covering new technologies being developed and used to help make agriculture more sustainable. Extracts include explanations of key technologies, what to opt for and what to avoid, to specific practical examples of technology use in different sectors.
Nuffield Scholar and RASE Technical Director Stephen Briggs said: “This is a very relevant topic for anyone involved in agriculture. The reports in this Bitesize Guide give a great overview of technologies available and how they are being used by farming businesses across the globe.”
Each year, up to 25 people aged 25-45 are selected as scholars and sponsored by the Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust to travel, research and report on subjects they are passionate about and which contribute to advancing farming, food, horticulture, forestry and ancillary industries.
Scholars travel for at least eight weeks, presenting their findings at the Nuffield Farming conference and publishing a report on their travels and recommendations, available on the Nuffield Farming website.
