Congratulations to our 2022 Scholarship Winner. Bridget Airey is currently enrolled in her second year of a three year Bachelor of Agriculture degree at Lincoln University. At a very young age Bridget realised she was happiest being out on the farm. She has a passion for environmental sustainability in the farming sector; and would like to look at the genetic side of the sheep and beef industry and look at ways of creating a more sustainable animal that is going to provide just as much production whilst taking lower inputs. As well as influence a positive image of the rural sector in the media. We wish you all the best in your further study Bridget!
