Working With Industry

The Agri-Food industry has a unique and essential role when it comes to innovating, producing and delivering the food needed to feed the world sustainably. The University of Nottingham works collaboratively with businesses from all parts of the supply chain to help them pre-empt and solve challenges. The University of Nottingham is uniquely positioned to work with Agri-Food businesses to address food system challenges, identify system-wide solutions and develop new corporate practices that will benefit the environment, the economy and wider society.

We can tailor our approach to suit your business, whether through a large strategic programme aligned to our Translational Centres, bespoke collaborative R&D, services for industry or support for a start-up or entrepreneur.
