Cameron Stone

Cameron Stone (LkIn: Cameron Stone) moved to Hobart 2 years ago to follow his partner who had relocated for work. An opportunity came up to complete a PhD at the University of Tasmania focusing on protected cropping in cherries. Prior to moving to the Apple Isle, Cameron was an agronomist in the Yarra Valley for a few years working with a range of growers from orchardists, vineyard managers, vegetable producers and cut flower farmers. He completed the majority of his tertiary education at the University of Melbourne (Bachelor in Environmental Science, Masters in Ag Science) as well as a Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary school teaching) at La Trobe University. He found my way into the Ag/Hort industry after 18 months living overseas teaching in London. When Cameron returned, he enrolled in the Ag Science masters degree. There has always been a connection to the industry through his dad who has worked in research and development for a major agricultural company for over 45 years.
