R2Kast 329 - Tales of a Nuffield Scholar with Jenna Ross


Listen Later

Today as part of the Tales of a Nuffield Scholar podcast which aims to share the stories of Nuffield UK Alumni we welcome Jenna Ross. 🌍 With her OBE, international research, and deep love for agriculture, Jenna’s story is one of purpose, innovation, and global impact. ✨


Jenna discusses her journey from a family farm in Aberdeenshire to becoming one of the youngest women to receive an OBE for services to agriculture and science. 🚜 Her Nuffield journey focused on future slug control solutions at a time of regulatory change, ultimately inspiring AI-powered research tools like SlugBot and Slimers. 🐌🔬


We explore Jenna’s 10 years across sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Angola. She shares how this global perspective now helps her lead international collaborations at the UK Agri-Tech Centre, delivering innovation in sustainable farming, net-zero projects, and female-led agribusiness. 🌿✨


Jenna also champions inclusion through the Inclusive Farm Scotland project and supports others via the Farmers’ Club Charitable Trust. Her message is clear: opportunity is everything — and collaboration makes it possible. 💪💬 For those interested in the Nuffield Farming Scholarships, be sure to visit the website and follow their social media for updates on ticket info and upcoming events! 🌐


Enjoy! 😊
