Increasing our yield as we reduce our impact on the planet through scientific research

Our students are focused on the big question: How do we sustainably feed a growing world population, set to hit 9.7 billion by 2050? Part of an internationally- recognised research community, they’re having a direct impact on the way farmers across the world grow our food. From increasing the yield of crops through soil quality, to improving productivity in livestock through water supplements, it all adds up to make a big difference. Impact-driven Research

With access to our 360-hectare commercial Home Farm, our students are able to explore their own research interests through their undergraduate dissertations. They also team up with our industry-active lecturers to work on live briefs and research trials for agricultural businesses.
