Student Crop Walk
We are thrilled to announce that the Student Crop Walk is returning for its third consecutive year! This year, we aim to showcase recent graduates, young industry leaders, and the amazing facets that the agricultural industry has to offer.
We understand the challenges of attracting graduates and younger individuals to the agricultural industry and regional areas. While agronomy and consultancy career paths are commonly recognized, our event aims to increase visibility and awareness of other career focus areas and prospects. The Student Crop Walk provides a unique platform for students to explore diverse career options within the industry. This event is also a fantastic opportunity for students to meet with early career industry leaders, where we highlight the importance of passion and curiosity within Agriculture.
The event promises valuable networking opportunities with peers and industry professionals, enabling students to forge connections that may shape their future careers. A detailed agenda will be released closer to the event date.
