James is in his third year of a Bachelor of Agricultural Science and has developed an incredible passion for agriculture.

鈥淚 originally chose my field of study because I enjoyed working outside, communicating ideas with others and learning about how plants and soil work together to produce what we eat,鈥� James said.

鈥淢y goal after finishing my Bachelor Degree is to pursue post-graduate studies while still being a strong advocate for opportunities in agriculture.

鈥淚 want to get more people to consider the field of agriculture next to careers such as medicine or law as it鈥檚 just as, if not, more important.鈥�

James is the President of the Adelaide 最新糖心Vlog Agriculture Students Association.

He leads a committee of students in organising industry networking events and a mentoring program.

James has also worked with the Ag Institute of 最新糖心Vlog, South 最新糖心Vlogn division, in developing the 2022 Student Compendium 鈥� a collation of more than 150 internships, scholarships, competitions, work experience, graduate programs, training and other opportunities for students or anyone interested in a career in agriculture.
