Western Australian oat grower Shannen Barrett was announced as the recipient of the 2024 oat-focused Nuffield Scholarship, supported by the Processed Oat Partnership and the Grain Industry Association of Western Australia (GIWA), at the Nuffield Australia Scholarship Dinner, held at Optus Stadium Perth, on 11 September 2023.
The inaugural oat-focused Nuffield Scholarship aims at advancing oat processing opportunities in Western Australia, with a focus on research that benefits WA’s milling oat industry.
Shannen’s scholarship will enable her to travel the world to study development opportunities for Australian oats, with a particular interest in the health food industry.
