is an opportunity for students to share their research through 3-minute video’s on topics in sustainable agriculture. The students also have an opportunity to interact with the audience in a moderated question period after their videos are played.
We have extended the registration period for the competition to
Friday February 10th, 2023 and we would like to encourage graduate students from your department to register and be a part of this fun competition. There are also cash prizes for the winners.
