The world is facing a global food and climate crisis. Using environmentally sustainable methods, we will need to produce at least 50% more food by 2050 to feed a rapidly growing population.
Whatever your farming experience, our undergraduate, postgraduate and further education courses at Writtle will prepare you to tackle immediate and important agricultural challenges.
You'll get hands-on with the latest technology and machinery on our 138-hectare farm, livestock units and scientific laboratories, and gain vital insights and contacts with our extensive industry connections.
