Solutions for Agriculture
Crop and Soil Research
The global population continues to rapidly increase and is expected to rise to over 9 billion people by 2050. Demand for crop production is projected to double within the same time period meaning that crop and soil research is becoming essential to ensure producers are able to meet future crop demand.
Crop and soil research regarding management and maintenance are imperative for the sustainability of agricultural businesses’ ability to capitalise on this expanding market and meet the ever-increasing demand. Factors such as water stress and disease can have drastic effects on crop production, so it is essential that these are monitored in order for control measures to be put in place.

Food and Drink Analysis
Increasing population means food and drink products need to be produced in vast quantities to meet increasing demand, while maintaining relevant quality and safety standards. In addition, public awareness of health problems that have direct correlation with food, such as heart disease and obesity, continues to increase. With reports that over 60% of us actively check the nutrition label before purchasing food and drink products, those with poor nutritional values are often overlooked and avoided. This has resulted in an increase in producers looking to analyse properties such as fat content, freezing/thawing, spoilage and adulteration within their products to ensure safety, quality and accurate nutritional values for their consumers.

Plant Physiology
Plant physiology is the study of plant functions and the responses of plants/crops grown in a variety of environments. The analysis of plant and crop physiology allows further understanding of the specific characteristics that influence plant growth, as well as building correlations between plant size and yield produced.
Studying plant physiology is crucial for solving crop management problems as it allows quantitative data to be gathered about certain traits relative to individual plants, which can in turn identify their importance in maximising yield and yield quality.

Forestry Management
Effective forestry management is crucial for industry and the environment. Forest destruction and deforestation is the second leading cause of carbon pollution, causing 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Lack of effective forestry management has major repercussions for the agricultural industry and has been proven to be a key contributing factor to profit margins and efficiency.
Forests have a vital role in the control of water levels in the atmosphere by regulating water cycles. With fewer trees, there is less water in the air to be returned to the soil, resulting in dryer soil and inability to grow crops. Forestry management is also of course critical for industries reliant on trees and timber, examples of the most important assets produced by woodland include “woody biomass” and “litter” from trees.

Ecology in agriculture
Ecology is an essential factor within an industry reliant on plant and crop performance. Ecological farming, also referred to as organic farming or biological farming, is based on the premise that crops take advantage of natural resources. These resources allow crops to fight pests and maintain or even increase soil fertility without the use of synthetic chemicals found in fertiliser, pesticides, antibiotics, or the use of genetic modification.
Key benefits of ecological farming include healthier products for consumers through the absence of synthetic additives as synthetic additives have been proven to contribute to the development of health problems such as heart failure, osteoporosis, migraines, allergies, hyperactivity and Parkinson’s disease. Due to this, the study and analysis of ecology has become significant and the market for organic crops is growing with today’s modern health-conscious society.
