The FAR Scholarship / Summer Studentships

In our aim to encourage more students into the agricultural science and research arena, we have developed a scholarship which provides financial assistance with both course and day-to-day living fees. In addition to the FAR Scholarship, exciting opportunities also exist for summer students wishing to get some hands-on experience out in the field. The scholarship valued at $7,000 is open to full-time students at Lincoln University whom are eligible to proceed to, or are undertaking postgraduate research, which will assist with increasing knowledge within the New Zealand arable farming sector.  

Full details including terms and conditions along with application forms can be sourced from Lincoln University.

Training Courses / Workshops 

FAR invites skilled individuals from within New Zealand and overseas to deliver training courses and workshops in order for growers to upskill in certain areas. Details of such events are promoted on the FAR website and sent out in hard copy to FAR levy payers and subscribers.

Active in Arable

Active in Arable was formed in 2001 when a cluster of Canterbury women promoted a business orientated discussion group for rurally based women involved in arable farming. Following a brain storming session at the beginning of each year, ten monthly meetings are held which enable arable women to upskill in certain areas of their choice, assisting the group in becoming more involved in the day-to-day running of their business.
