he Student Research and Innovation Grant (SRIG) allowed me to connect with a team of researchers in the fields of agricultural sciences and economics. With the support of SRIG funding, I gained practical experience analysing economic data from ongoing experimental research trials, and I was able to conduct an initial economic assessment of the potential for organic agriculture at the Alaksen National Wildlife Area.

​I am grateful to have received a KPU Student Research and Innovation Grant, and I would encourage any student with an interest in practical research to apply.
