Born and raised in the South Gippsland region of Victoria, Julian Craven (L: Julian Craven) travelled extensively across Australia with his family, making extended stops in Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Shoal Bay in NSW for high school, and Griffith NSW.

Julian was a part of the pilot cohort of the National Farmers' Federation's AgCAREERSTART gap-year program. During his placement on a cotton farm in Griffith, NSW, Julian cemented his future in agriculture with assistance of the pastoral support and funded training opportunities provided by the program.

Back at Australian National University post gap-year, Julian is particularly passionate about sustainable agriculture, focusing on water science, and is enthusiastic about fostering international and domestic collaborations in today's globalised markets.

Julian was recently announced as a 2024 AgriFutures Horizon Scholarship; and he's honoured to collaborate with his industry sponsor, CRDC, through work experiences and mentorships. Julian is excitedd about the future, and he's committed to exploring his potential in the workforce and contributing meaningfully to the agricultural sector.
