Graduate profile

“Everything leads back to the soil, my crop lecturer always said. If it wasn’t for his passion and support, I wouldn’t have discovered a love for soil science and career in agronomy. For me, the most rewarding part is supporting farmers to improve their yield through efficient fertiliser use. This is fundamental to feeding a growing population and protecting our land for future generations. I didn’t know where I wanted my degree to take me, but Hartpury opened my mind to the scope of careers in agriculture. I’ll always be thankful for that.”
