Renee Anderson releases her Nuffield Scholarship report
Nuffield scholar and former Cotton Australia Regional Manager for Central Highlands Renee Anderson has released her Nuffield Scholarship report – Social Licence: a Social and Environmental Responsibility.
Supported by Cotton Australia and the Cotton Research and Development Corporation Renée visited 120 farms in 15 countries as part of her scholarship and attended the Food and Agriculture Organisation Committee for World Food Security in Rome.
Renee concluded that adopting best management practices (BMP) on-farm is key to Australian agriculture maintaining its strong social licence. Renee also highlighted the need for farmers to benefit from investment and support to implement practices safeguarding environmental and public health, promoting food safety, and building sustainable livelihoods for farmers and their communities.
