At Hartpury, an agriculture degree is about so much more than farming. It's about working with people to create behaviour change, applying agri-tech data to increase yield and welfare, and translating scientific research and business theory into real solutions that address industry challenges.
You don’t need an agricultural background, you just need the passion and drive to make a difference to our planet, people, and animals.
