We're driving change in agricultural productivity. Our staff and students produce data-driven research that's helping to solve the industry's biggest challenges. Our 10-year vision is to become a leader that shapes the future of digital farming. Following a successful GFirstLEP bid to the government's Getting Building Fund, our Digital Innovation Farm transformation began in 2019 with the launch of our Agri Tech Centre. In 2022, we opened our Tech Box Park to provide vital innovation spaces for Gloucestershire agri-businesses. We also undertake ongoing trials with industry partners such as consultancy and research firm, ADAS. These initiatives allow our students to contribute to studies that are having real outcomes. We’re at the forefront of discovering new ways to support mental health in the farming community. The research of Hartpury University student, Elle Vercoe-Gibson focussed on One Welfare stakeholder interplay in the dairy sector. Agriculture research For a greener future
