Review of research and innovation - English agricultural and horticultural workforce

IER with Warwick University Crop Centre has been commissioned by The Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture (TIIAH) to undertake a study to explore the impact of new technology on jobs and skills in the agriculture and horticulture sectors.

The study involves consultations with people who are leading innovation within the main agricultural and horticultural research and innovation institutions across Europe.

The consultations focus on developments within the existing R&I pipeline, as well as future technological developments envisaged by 2040.

The research focuses on the extent to which these R&I developments will impact on employment and skills within the sector, and how business models will be changed to deploy, implement and develop new technologies within the sector.”
