James Richard Harvey grew up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches before moving to Tasmania to study Agricultural Science at the University of Tasmania in Hobart. A passion for the outdoors, including surfing, hiking and mountain biking, led to an interest in careers that combine practical problem-solving with environmental stewardship. James is particularly interested in horticulture and aims to build a career across research and consultancy, with a long-term goal of operating his own farm. As a 2026 AgriFutures Horizon Scholar, supported by Hort Innovation, he is looking forward to gaining industry experience and developing practical solutions that support productive and sustainable farming systems.
