Farmers and Scientists: Partners against Climate Change in Agriculture

Farming is central to the nation’s economy and with climate change having a negative impact on our farms’ soil health and a greater susceptibility to crop diseases, we need the brightest minds in plant and crop science to collaborate with those in agriculture. Collaborating together, they can help to remodel farming so that it can be preserved as a sustainable, attractive and profitable long-term business capable of delivering the quality and quantity of food our country needs.

Steps have been taken already to address some of the issues facing modern-day farmers. Cohorts of farmers, agriculture organisations and research scientists here at Norwich Research Park have been working together to generate ideas to resolve some of the threats farming is facing.

A number of specialist events have been organised by Anglia Innovation Partnership, the campus management company for Norwich Research Park, to generate a series of science discovery activities, programmes and projects to ultimately deliver solutions that will bring improvements to things like the health of our soil, crop resistance to disease, crop yields and resistance to extreme temperatures.
