Abstract

The world has a finite area of land to feed, fuel and clothe a growing population, while at the same time reducing greenhouse gas emissions and safeguarding biodiversity.

With over a hundred year history of working to improve grassland agriculture, IBERS’ research aims to make farming more productive, beneficial to society and protective of our environment.

At the institute, we conduct cutting-edge fundamental and applied research that underpins the breeding of new and improved varieties of crops, makes agriculture more sustainable, and enables industry to develop new processes and products.

In the heart of Wales, IBERS’ unique location and ecosystem of capabilities allows our students and researchers to conduct hands-on research and training in plant genetics, agriculture, ecology, biotechnology, and environmental science. Enabling study of our environment, habitats, and food systems from summit to sea and field to fork.

IBERS core research is focused on making crops more resilient to climate change, improving crop quality, safeguarding genetic diversity, capturing carbon, and understanding the wider interactions between agriculture and the environment.

We work closely with industry to tackle global challenges, engage with policymakers and the wider agricultural community to better understand the critical issues, and then work collectively to find solutions.

This collection of impact case stories provides some real-world examples of where IBERS has been, and is, creating impact by applying our bioscience to help build a better tomorrow.
