2021 Science Awards - for young Ag Innovators
Aug 22, 2020 Posted by Brittany Cunningham
To those in the agricultural industry in the 18-35 age bracket, the 2021 Science Awards have opened. The Grant offered by the ABARES is to "realise big ideas for agriculture from young rural innovators"1.
Delmade has curated the following article from the ABARES Website.
"Grant applications are now open for the 2021 Science and Innovation Awards for Young People in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. If you’re 18-35 and want to make a difference in agriculture, this is your chance to apply for a grant of up to $22,000 to fund your project that will benefit Australia’s primary industries.
The Hon David Littleproud MP, Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, has launched the 2021 Awards – read more here.
The Science Awards encourage young scientists, researchers, innovators, farmers, fishers, foresters, extension officers, industry advisers and others actively engaged in the agriculture sector who have an original and innovative project that will contribute to the ongoing success and sustainability of Australia’s agriculture, fisheries and forestry industries. The Science Awards have already helped 261 young Australians make their ideas a reality and showcase their talent to the world.

Each category includes a $22,000 grant and is generously supported by the research and development corporations and industry organisations as our Science Award partners.
