The South of England Agricultural Society has sponsored Nuffield Scholarships since 1979. Scholars are chosen because of their potential to provide leadership within the farming industry and rural community and to raise standards as a result of their work. William Goodwin was awarded the Nuffield Scholarship in 2008 to enable him to study the role of GMO’s in the delivery of environmentally sustainable food and bio-fuel industries.
