Enterprise / Knowledge Transfer

IBERS works closely with its diverse stakeholders and users to ensure that IBERS science serves their needs, and to promote technology transfer and knowledge exchange delivering economic and social benefits.

By linking the processes and results of our scientific investigations to the work of social scientists in Aberystwyth and Bangor we are able to inform policy on the rural economy and on rural communities.

By providing high level training for the farming community and the agri-industry we are able to develop the skills base of rural communities and enhance agricultural practice.

Current areas of expertise:

• Grassland Development Centre
• Organic Centre Wales
• Farm Business Survey

There are also strong links between IBERS and the following groups:
