At present, a major project led by the College of Biology, Environment and Rural Sciences (IBERS) of Abel University-the development of improved oat varieties is under study, and growers, millers, dairy farmers, beef and poultry meat owners will gain remarkable economic and environmental benefits. To this end, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the British Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture (DEFRA), the Welsh Assembly Government and the Irish Government also jointly invested 4.9 million pounds to set up a five-year Quality Oats Project (QUOATS). Business agriculture studies agriculture and business management.
Agricultural research, as a key discipline of Abel University, has a history of 120 years. This course focuses on the increasingly developed agricultural products industry, and combines bioengineering to study agricultural project management, agricultural products processing, agricultural products industrial chain, agricultural institutions cooperation, retail, network channels and so on.
Another advantage of this course is that students can choose to participate in the school-oriented internship program in their sophomore or junior years, which greatly increases their employability.

This major is one of the few courses in Britain that combines the theoretical knowledge of eco-technology with management practice. Students are studying this cutting-edge topic, and they can gain technical and management skills in the field of biotechnology. The main research topics include: innovation management, crop genomics, genetic engineering, biotechnology and so on.
2. Food and water safety management
In developing countries, with the acceleration of population and economic development, the global demand for safe food and sufficient clean water and energy is increasing. This major is an interdisciplinary combination. Abel University unites outstanding teachers from the Institute of Ecology and Agriculture, the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, and the School of International Politics, and uses multidisciplinary research methods to fully understand this emerging research field.
3. Environmental management
Environmental management is one of the traditional hot majors in agricultural universities. This major focuses on the following five directions.
L environmental sustainability
L marine and freshwater systems
L. Habitat restoration and protection
Risk assessment of genetically modified crops
L bioenergy and environmental change
