World leading research... The Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS) is an internationally-recognised research and teaching centre providing a unique base for research in response to global challenges.
@ibers.bsky.social🌍#WorldFoodDay Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
This year’s theme, Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow., highlights the role of science in creating sustainable food systems.
At IBERS, we develop climate-resilient crops to support sustainable agriculture for the future.
@ibers.bsky.social🌍 Diwrnod Bwyd y Byd
Mae thema eleni - Arloesi heddiw. Porthi yfory. - yn tynnu sylw at rôl gwyddoniaeth wrth greu systemau bwyd cynaliadwy.
Yn IBERS, ni’n datblygu cnydau sy'n gallu gwrthsefyll newid yn yr hinsawdd ac yn cefnogi amaethyddiaeth gynaliadwy ar gyfer y dyfodol.
@ibers.bsky.social🌟 Congratulations to Dr Hannah Rees on being awarded a prestigious 2026 Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship from the Royal Society, recognising outstanding early career scientists and supporting the next generation of research excellence.

@ibers.bsky.socialWhat counts as a research output?
Last week, IBERS colleagues attended a Hidden REF NTO workshop, which explored how research assessment can better recognise the diverse outputs that drive research and innovation.
@ibers.bsky.socialBeth sy'n cyfrif fel allbwn ymchwil?
Yr wythnos diwethaf, mynychodd cydweithwyr o IBERS weithdy NTO Hidden REF a oedd yn archwilio sut y gall asesu ymchwil gydnabod yn well yr amrywiaeth o allbynnau sy'n sbarduno ymchwil ac arloesedd.

@ibers.bsky.social🥣 Happy #WorldPorridgeDay!
There's a good chance the oats in your breakfast came from a variety bred at IBERS, Aberystwyth University 🌾 Our breeding programme has developed varieties that now account for over 95% of the UK's winter oat crop.
@ibers.bsky.social🥣 Iechyd Da ar Ddiwrnod Uwd y Byd
Mae'n debygol iawn bod y ceirch yn eich brecwast yn dod o hadau a gafodd eu ddatblygu yn IBERS, Prifysgol Aberystwyth 🌾 Mae ein rhaglen fridio wedi datblygu ystod o fathau sydd bellach yn cyfrif am dros 95% o gnwd ceirch y gaeaf yn y DU.
@ibers.bsky.socialHow can we develop the forage crops needed to support sustainable farming in a changing climate?
If you're interested in plant science, environmental sustainability and solving real-world agricultural challenges, this could be an exciting area to explore through a PhD.
@ibers.bsky.socialJoin the NUE-Leg project team to explore how legumes could help livestock and dairy farmers improve nitrogen efficiency, increase home-grown protein and reduce reliance on purchased feed and fertiliser.

@ibers.bsky.social🌿 Meet the Team: Annalene Hansen 🌿
Annalene is a PhD Student at IBERS, investigating how wheat plants perceive and respond to mechanical stresses such as wind and rain. Her research aims to help future-proof crops against the increasing challenges posed by climate change.
@ibers.bsky.socialLLONGYFARCHIADAU | CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏👏 ✨Congratulations to Alys Haf Reid Bacon for successfully defending her Doctoral thesis looking at yield development, grain filling and grain quality in oats. 🌟Llongyfarchiadau mawr i Alys Haf Reid Bacon ar amddiffyn ei thesis doethuriaeth yn llwyddiannus 🎉
@ibers.bsky.social🎓 From developing climate-resilient crops and healthier foods to advancing biotechnology, genetics and AI-driven crop science, postgrad researchers at IBERS are helping tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our world.

@ibers.bsky.socialWin £1,000 - entries close 31 Oct
There is still time to enter the UK Dairy Carbon Network’s Dairy Impact Competition with five £1,000 prizes available. No farming background needed , just creative ways to tell an engaging story about how dairy is seen and understood.
@ibers.bsky.socialWe've had a day of inspiring talks and presentations today, bringing together IBERS researchers and ADAS staff to discuss areas of common interest and potential collaboration opportunities. Many thanks to our visiting colleagues and all staff involved.
@ibers.bsky.social💧 🌱 Our latest Future Fields case study looks at the role of LoRaWAN technology in farming, from remote monitoring of water systems to supporting more efficient and sustainable water management in a changing climate.

@ibers.bsky.social💧 🌱 Mae ein hastudiaeth achos ddiweddaraf ar gyfer Meysydd y Dyfodol yn edrych ar rôl technoleg LoRaWAN mewn amaethyddiaeth, o fonitro o bell systemau dŵr i gefnogi rheoli dŵr yn fwy effeithlon a chynaliadwy mewn hinsawdd sy’n newid.
@aberuni.bsky.socialReposted by @ibers.bsky.social🌱 Our IBERS researcher Dr Paul Robson spoke to BBC Radio 4's Farming Today about miscanthus and its potential for carbon storage, sustainable farming and green industries.
