Agriculture with Crop Production Science (with Placement)

The emphasis has shifted away from purely commercial objectives, and modern crop managers must increasingly justify inputs and assess the impact of their activities on the environment.These new demands are complex and require highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals to manage them successfully. Modern techniques and production methods are combined in the concept of integrated crop management to develop environmentally sustainable systems of crop production.Harper Adams has extensive academic and industry experience and is actively involved in applied crop research and consultancy, including the delivery of professional training to industry.
