Amid the Aussie horticulture’s projected rise in value of 22.5 per cent by 2030, three emerging industry leaders are set to travel the globe to learn how to apply international best-practice to Australian growing conditions.

Announced at the Nuffield National Conference Annual Awards Dinner in Perth last night, participants in the onion, berry, and vegetable industries each won a 2024 Nuffield Scholarship, funded by research and development levies through Hort Innovation.

“Hort Innovation is committed to working with industry to build capacity within the horticulture sector,” Mr Fifield said.

“Through supporting initiatives such as Nuffield Scholarships, horticulture professionals get the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, and ultimately, give back to their industry by sharing the knowledge they gained overseas.”
