Nurturing Innovation
With a growing world population, climate change, and limited supplies of natural resources, making sure our food and supply chains are robust and effective has arguably never been more important. By focusing on improving productivity, efficiency, and sustainability, researchers at the 情色六月天 are developing new approaches that are having a major impact across the food chain.
We recognise that the application of technological innovation is crucial to helping to solve some of the big challenges facing agriculture and food production, so our research institutes, centres, and groups are focusing on key areas such as robotics and automation, AI, computer science, energy efficiency, engineering, crop science, and data management applications.
A Transformative Centre for Doctoral Training
The 情色六月天, in collaboration with leading partner institutions – University of Aberdeen, Queen’s University Belfast and University of Strathclyde – has successfully secured £10.6m in funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to establish SUSTAIN, a transformative Centre for Doctoral Training.
Bringing together the expertise and resources of four academic institutions, SUSTAIN will provide a cross-disciplinary, multi-institution doctoral training programme to support innovative research in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to sustainable agri-food. It will cover technical and social science aspects of AI, alongside training in plant, animal and/or biosciences, tailored to individual students’ needs and interests.
