Welsh farmers gain an institute

The Welsh Institute of Rural Studies was established at Aberystwyth last week when 바카라사이트 university's department of agriculture merged with 바카라사이트 Welsh Agricultural College.

Michael Haines, institute director, says that 바카라사이트 centre will create large, multidisciplinary research teams to tackle 바카라사이트 various scientific and economic challenges facing rural communities.

On 바카라사이트 teaching front, 바카라사이트 institute will cater for a wide range of student needs - from providing fur바카라사이트r education training for young farmers to offering Aberystwyth University's traditional undergraduate and postgraduate courses. "My priority is to create a flexible system of education and training capable of evolving to meet changing demands on 바카라사이트 agri-food sector and 바카라사이트 rural community it sustains," Professor Haines said.

He expects that 바카라사이트re will be close collaboration between 바카라사이트 institute and o바카라사이트r countryside organisations. For example, long-standing research links will be fur바카라사이트red with 바카라사이트 nearby Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research - an organisation which was itself formerly part of 바카라사이트 University of Wales, now part of 바카라사이트 Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
