Our aim is to perform outstanding fundamental plant science research, providing the underpinning knowledge to support UK and world food security. Our core research lies in three main areas:
but the expertise in our host departments (APSandMBB) extends to a spectrum of approaches relevant to food security, from advanced molecular engineering through to assessing environmental impacts of agronomy, modelling plant communities and global biogeochemistry.
Our research spans scales, from gene to ecosystem, providing a unique integrated approach to translational agritech:Project P3
Our research is closely aligned with the principles of the
