We have 181 Agricultural Sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students
Project at University of Reading: Optimising above and belowground ecosystem services for sustainable crop production
UK agriculture could play a central role in reaching NET ZERO by 2050 and halting biodiversity loss. Agriculture is a significant contributor to UK emissions (10%), and intensive farming practices and habitat loss are key drivers of species declines. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Application of an optimality-based crop model to predict future cereal yields
Potential crop yield is determined by environmental factors, including solar radiation, daylength, temperature and CO. 2. Information about potential crop yields under future climate change is useful to both farmers and policy makers as it describes the biophysical "ceiling" for crop production. Read more
PhD project at University of Reading: Beyond nitrogen and the nodule: How rhizobial trait diversity enhances crops, soil and environmental health
The global demand for food is set to double by 2050, creating an urgent need for sustainable farming solutions. Read more
Project at University of Reading: A receptor-ligand module with practical applications to improve food production
This project will take a multi-disciplinary approach to unlock the secrets of plant reproduction in order to produce better crops. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Novel transition pathways to regenerative agriculture
Current food production systems are major contributors to climate change and biodiversity loss. To create a sustainable future, farming practices must adapt to enhance nature, reduce environmental impact, and ensure resilient food supply chains. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: AI-Based Acoustic Monitoring in Turkey Poults for Productivity, Health and Welfare
As global demand for poultry continues to grow, there is an increasing need for sustainable, efficient, and welfare-focused farming methods. Read more
Project at University of Lincoln: Revealing the potential of Organo-Mineral Fertilisers to enhance crop productivity, as well as improve soil health and sustainability.
The UK imports a significant amount of unsustainably mined phosphorus, with low deployment efficiency leading to environmental issues like eutrophication. Read more
Project at University of Lincoln: Using AI to manage multi-species grassland for livestock farming
Producing plant matter for animal food is important for livestock farming, both for grazing and for making silage. This is typically done by growing fields of rye grass. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Novel breeding strategies for elite raspberry cultivar selection
Raspberries are clonally propagated and grown for the high-value fresh market in the UK, and around the world, providing many nutritional benefits and pleasure to consumers. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Multi-omics analysis of nitrogen metabolism by the soil microbial community
This is a bioinformatics project aiming to develop new tools to analyse multi-omics long-reads sequencing data, for a better understanding of nitrogen metabolism in soil. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: From hive to home: A holistic approach to honey authentication
Honey is a natural and nutritious food product which is becoming increasingly popular with global consumption projected to increase 5-fold between 2021-2026. Read more
Developmental and genotypic determinants of macro and micronutrient distribution across faba bean seed tissues
Faba bean (Vicia faba L) is the UK’s most important pulse crop, valued for its high nutrient density, strong nitrogen-fixing capacity and agronomic versatility and is in strong demand as a sustainably sourced raw material for both animal feed and meat and dairy alternative food manufacture. Read more
Plant chrono-nutrition: Quantitative methods for improving the nutritional quality of fresh vegetables in urban farms
Both plants and animals have a daily rhythm– the circadian clock– that regulates many different aspects of our physiology. For instance, human circadian rhythms determine how well we absorb nutrients, while plant circadian rhythms regulate metal absorption and vitamin biosynthesis. Read more
Watering the flowers: gene x environment control of water use during Brassica napus inflorescence development
When to water the flowers? As climate change starts to affect our world, drought and warming are already affecting agricultural productivity. Read more
Pollinators connecting people in rural environment: more-than-human and community-led approaches
We are seeking 6 Leverhulme doctoral scholars for the second cohort of the "Sustainable Rural Futures Programme" (SURF) at Keele University. Read more
