It’s not too late to celebrate Back British Farming Day.

At SRUC Aberdeen, we're proud to play our part in shaping the future of British agriculture by teaching and supporting the next generation of farmers and agricultural professionals.

A huge thank you to everyone working across the industry to produce our food, care for the land and support rural communities - and to the students preparing to play their part in the future of farming.

SRUC is proud to support Back British Farming Day, celebrating the farmers and growers who work every day to produce the food we eat, care for our land and support thriving rural communities.

As Scotland’s leading land-based institution, we know that a strong future for British farming depends on supporting the next generation, investing in skills and education, and finding innovative ways to build a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector.

Colin Hardacre from our Wildlife and Conservation team was at Envirolution Aberdeen, chatting all things SRUC and our work to support communities transitioning towards a more sustainable future.

Our Wildlife and Conservation Management MSc kicked off with a visit to the ever-magnificent Forvie National Nature Reserve. This distance-learning programme has several opportunities for get-togethers where students engage in field trips and activities that help underpin learning. This time, Reserve Officers, Joe and Emma, showed us some of the treasures of the reserve as well as discussing challenges and opportunities of managing such an amazing and popular site. We then visited the Grey Seals on the Ythan estuary and learned about research being undertaken by SRUC into coexistence between seals and recreation.
