This course is entirely online and has been designed in collaboration with the Nuffield Farming Scholarship programme. It aims to support scholars in developing, analysing, writing and presenting academically rigorous projects. The overall aims of the programme are to provide recipients of the Nuffield Scholarship with the skills to:
- explain the current and future challenges facing the agri-food sector
- synthesise information from industry and peer-reviewed literature
- compare the approaches taken to address specific challenges to the industry
- evaluate the extent to which new approaches and practices might be applied to systems in their home country
- deliver a high-quality extended report in an appropriate scientific style as well as creating a range of outputs to disseminate research findings to a predominantly non-scientific audience (such as social media posts, press briefing, infographic, blog, policy briefing note).
