The award is in recognition of the research undertaken for his undergraduate dissertation, entitled "Comparison of variation of topsoil quality indicators in a long-term regenerative management strategy in the North Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, UK", supervised by Dr Manoj Menon.
The project was inspired by Josh’s own upbringing in the Cotswolds. He explored opportunities for transitioning towards sustainable agricultural practices aimed at regenerating topsoils.
