A combined remote sensing and machine learning approach to monitoring crop stress and predicting crop yield
Optimising crop yield under current and future growth conditions is a key priority for ensuring future food security. Read more
Crop Type Classification Using Optical Remote Sensing
Crop type mapping at the field level is necessary for a variety of applications in agricultural monitoring and food security. In this thesis, the goal is to develop a suitable deep neural network architecture that could detect different crop types in remote sensing images. Read more
FOod SecuriTy with prEcision faRming (FOSTER) by Leveraging IoT and AI for Efficient Crop Monitoring and Disease Diagnosis (VC23031)
This project funding covers university fees and monthly stipend. The project is co-funded by RazBio (pvt) Ltd. Project Description. Read more
Climate change reduces the nutritional value of food crops
Increasing atmospheric CO. 2. concentrations and increasing temperatures are causing physiological responses in crops, which lead to them having reduced protein and micronutrient contents. Read more
Community-informed diversification of local food systems
Background. Our recent research shows that the distributions of crops worldwide tend to be limited more by historical processes of dispersal and establishment, than by climatic tolerance. Read more
Smart control of crop diseases: how can we best combine fungicides and plant resistance genes?
This project would suit a student interested in combining experimentation in the field with mathematical and computational modelling of agri-food biosystems. Read more
SCENARIO - Strengthening links between agri-environment management and pollination services for cost-effective bee conservation (SC2023_24)
Project. Pollination by bees and other insects is vitally important for UK agriculture, improving production by around £630M. However, despite these benefits, pollinator populations are in decline due to changes in land use, land management and climate. Read more
GPS/RTK Localization-based Agri-Robot for Precision Agri-tasks in Crop Fields (RENE_U23CMP)
Agricultural robots are widely used to tackle labour-intensive, repetitive, and physically demanding tasks. Precise localization and mapping are important to guide the robots to complete the tasks in the field. Read more
The modulation of plant isoprenoids as a strategy for ozone tolerance
The combustion of fossil fuels, and biomass has led to elevated ambient ozone concentrations over large portions of the earth’s surface. Read more
Developing nanomaterials to enhance and future-proof crop yields
Plants are critical for food security, carbon capture and the production of many of the materials we rely on. Novel ways to enhance plant growth and productivity are being investigated, and one of these is by looking at modifying plants at the nanoscale. Read more
MScR: Developing nanomaterials to enhance and future-proof crop yields
Plants are critical for food security, carbon capture and the production of many of the materials we rely on. Novel ways to enhance plant growth and productivity are being investigated, and one of these is by looking at modifying plants at the nanoscale. Read more
SCENARIO - Changes in soil hydraulic properties using long-term innovative monitoring to unveil process dynamics, improve numerical model parameterisation and support Nature-based Solutions (SC2023_41)
This project is based at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford. Read more
Identifying host genetic factors shaping rhizosphere microbiome during root disease (ARORA_J23CASE)
Legumes play an important role in the diversification and sustainability of agriculture. Peas are a valuable legume crop as they contribute to meeting the growing demand for plant protein worldwide. Read more
Establishing a Chitin Synthesis Reporter Assay for Pesticide Research
Agriculture is reliant on the chemical control of insect pests and fungal pathogens to ensure crop productivity. However, in recent years there has been an increase in resistance to chemical control amongst pest populations, leading to a loss of efficacy of previously effective control measures. Read more
