Project A2226: Modelling the Impact of Regenerative Land Practices on Carbon Sequestration in Drought Affected Soils Using Machine Learning and Remote Sensing Data
Land regeneration plays a key role in fostering resilience in agri-food systems threatened by climate change, land degradation and desertification which are becoming ever growing challenges for feeding the world. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: AI-mazing Agriculture: Mitigating Seasonality Effects in UK Controlled Environments
Background. Controlled environment (CE) facilities, such as glasshouses, play a vital role in UK agriculture, producing crops year-round and supporting research in plant sciences. Read more
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 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 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
De-risking agri-food business through enhanced water scarcity awareness
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Exploring the potential and limitations of cover cropping in spring barley rotations in Northern Scotland, with a focus on establishment reliability
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Scale dependence in landscape restoration: tracking biodiversity gains and agricultural sustainability under environmental land management
Cumbria Connect is a 33,000-hectare nature restoration partnership that started in 2023 and sits less than 10 miles to the northeast from our Ambleside Campus. Read more
