Congratulations to Professor Sally Shortall FAcSS, Duke of Northumberland Chair of Rural Economy, who has been shortlisted for a special award celebrating game changers in the agriculture industry over the last twenty years.
Game Changers celebrates people who are making a significant contribution to UK farming – and shows how the ongoing success of UK agriculture is built on collaboration between people spearheading change within the industry. Sally has been chosen for her rural research work – particularly into the role of women in farm families which led to the creation of the Women in Agriculture Taskforce. Good luck to Sally!
Professor Sally Shortall has been nominated for her groundbreaking rural research, focusing on the critical role women play in agricultural families. This work directly led to the establishment of the Women in Agriculture Working Group.
Joining her in the nominations are scientists, professionals, academics, environmentalists, and farmers who are all making significant contributions to British agriculture.
The awards ceremony will be held on October 3rd in London.”
