About
The Agricultural Resilience Impact and Innovation Hub (AGRIIH) aims to generate a transformational shift in the scope of Oxford‘s agricultural research impact, by engaging industry and stakeholders to co- develop novel and industry-relevant research and innovation that transforms our agricultural systems for a sustainable future.
Agriculture is a major cause of biodiversity loss and carbon emissions globally. Oversimplification of the system, reliance on high levels of inputs, and a disconnect from nature and the important services it provides, leaves our food systems inherently vulnerable to environmental and economic shocks.
The University of Oxford is home to world-leading research into all aspects of agriculture from plant science, climate and ecology, to social science, business and economics providing a melting pot for the interdisciplinary collaboration that is needed to generate real solutions and innovation that effectively harness technology, people and nature to transform agricultural systems for the future.
The AGRIIH will stimulate collaborations across disciplines to develop a coordinated multi-dimensional offering that integrates molecular plant science with ecology within a broader food system framing, all informed by business needs and supported with industry funding.
