An Introduction to the school of sustainable food and farming at Harper Adams University

The School of sustainable Food and Farming is educating, inspiring and empowering current and future farmers to achieve net zero within a sustainable farming and food system.

Our Shared Purpose

The School of Sustainable Food and Farming at Harper Adams University is supported by our steering partners: Morrisons, McDonalds UK & Ireland, and National Farmers Union. Our shared purpose is to:

Equip farmers with skills and knowledge towards Net Zero within sustainability parameters (economic, environmental and social).
Talk a common language with regards to Net Zero and sustainable farming.
Improving farm data to track carbon emission reductions and sequestration offsetting at a whole farm system approach.
Encourage new entrants into the food industry and a diversity of entrepreneurial people.
