Key molecules derived from enzymatic treatment of wafer batter and their impact on batter rheology
The Food Consortium CTP is an industry-led collaborative programme that aims at developing highly skilled PhD researchers and providing an innovation ecosystem through collaboration and partnership between four major food manufacturers together with Campden BRI and the Haydn Green Institute (Nottingham University Business School). Read more
Environmental regulation of crop productivity
Crop productivity is highly dependent on environmental conditions. Understanding the mechanisms by which plants respond to environmental signals will therefore allow us to select for climate resilient crops and improve global food security. Read more

SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomic Data Science: Creating the infrastructure in the use of genomic tools for pathogen surveillance and control in crops
Despite the recommendations of many expert groups, One Health surveillance systems have not yet improved to the point where emerging infectious threats can be better anticipated. Read more
Fully funded MSc by Research in Biology: Determining the interactions among the soil microbiome, beneficial soil microbial inoculants and soil-adjuvants to promote crop productivity under drought.
A move towards more sustainable agricultural systems is a long-term goal not only for the UK but globally, as highlighted by the UN 2030 agenda goals which set out the need for such sustainable development. Read more
CO2 perception and responses in plants – building new connections
Land plants must constantly adjust and adapt to their environment. Environmental fluctuations often culminate in stress for plant growth, disrupt carbon and water balance, and affect crop productivity and fresh-water use. Read more
MSc by Research: Do any Bacillus subtilis strains have an inhibitory effect on phytophthora pathogens and potential as a future biocontrol?
The world needs a sustainable and secure supply of fresh and affordable food. Increased demand for berries is driven by their popularity and consumer belief in their healthful properties. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Multi-camera machine vision of a whole cattle herd for assessing the impact of interventions for environmental sustainability
While dairy farming is receiving increasingly strong competition from plant-based alternatives, it remains an important agricultural option where grass is the most viable crop, such as Bristol’s civic region as well as a large slice of world landmass. Read more
Inga agroforestry to enhance soil regeneration and carbon sequestration in degraded tropical soils.
Extensive tracts of land in the tropics have already been cleared of forest, used first to grow crops and then as pasture. The removal of the tropical forest severely diminishes the capacity of the ecosystem to retain nutrients and carbon in the soil. Read more
Multimodal remote sensing and Machine Learning for Precision Agriculture
With the world population expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050, the demand for food and agricultural products will rise significantly in the coming years. Read more
Weed Seed Ecology in Regenerative Agriculture; black-grass and emerging grass weeds
A 4 year PhD Studentship is available to UK and international students, starting September 2022. Closing date for Applications 29th July. Read more

Engineering stomatal patterning in plants for enhanced water use efficiency
Globally, fresh water usage has increased 6-fold in the past 100 years, twice as fast as the human population, and is expected to double again before 2030, driven mainly by agriculture. Read more
Characterising rice genetic diversity in the mekong delta to sustain future crops (DE_VEGA_E22DTP)
Rice is a versatile carbohydrate essential to diets worldwide and a staple for over 50% of the human population. Rice production in Vietnam is of enormous value, both as an export commodity and a daily food staple for more than 96 million people in Vietnam. Read more
