PotatoLink’s Steph Tabone on a Nuffield Adventure

Nuffield 2024 Global Focus Program group visiting a winery in Georgia to learn about the traditional Georgian wine making process which dates back to 8000 BC

From the halls of Parliament House in Canberra, to the crystal-clear waters of Bonito in Brazil, and learning about the rich cultural traditions of Georgian winemaking, the introduction to my Nuffield year set the tone for an extraordinary learning journey. Along the way, I’ve discovered the shared challenges, diverse solutions, and common aspirations that unite farmers and food systems worldwide.

The program kicked off in March with the Contemporary Scholars Conference, first in Canberra and then in Brazil. This brought together all of the 2024 scholars from around the world.
