In launching the 2021 Science and Innovation Awards, Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management David Littleproud has called for the sharpest young minds to apply different and innovative solutions to current industry issues.
“2020 has made one thing clear: there’s no shortage of complex challenges facing this nation and our agriculture, fisheries and forestry sectors,” Minister Littleproud said. “The blueprints for success, however, are simple: work hard, work smart and invest in the next generation.”
Last year’s winner of the Australian Eggs Award and Minister’s Award, Dr Meagan Craven from Deakin University, was recognised |
| for her project investigating whether pigeon milk can combat Salmonella outbreaks on Australian egg farms. “This project is a great example of innovation and applying different solutions to current industry issues. I can’t wait to see what’s next!” Minister Littleproud said. |
