YOUNG agricultural scientists, innovators and researchers have the chance to receive funding for projects that will benefit Australia's grains industry.
The 2017 Science and Innovation Awards for Young People in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry are designed to support early career researchers, scientists and other innovators in developing new approaches to industry issues and, in turn, making Australia's agricultural industries more productive and competitive.
One of last year's award winners was Murdoch University atmospheric scientist Jatin Kala who has used his funding to study the link between frost and topography at the farm scale, starting with a single research farm.
Winners receive a grant of up to $22,000 go to agriculture.gov.au/scienceawards
