agri-business

I really like SRUC and rural champs like Sarah Skerratt and Jane Atterton so although this might not be directly their part of the organisation I still wanted to draw this new service to your attention. This article tells us:

Agri-business across the UK will reportedly enjoy greater access to the latest independent advice backed by research and innovation, through a new partnership between Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) and ADAS, the independent agricultural and environmental consultancy.

Through the joint venture, new and existing partners will be able to use research at ADAS and SRUC – which includes SAC Consulting, their specialist consultancy and diagnostic services, as well as education and training courses. The partnership will also reportedly be the vehicle for more collaborative research.

The joint venture will operate in fields such as agriculture and climate change, soil health, synthesis of evidence to support policy development, data, ecological modelling and genomics, sustainable diets and food production systems, animal welfare and sustainable food supply.
