OUR VALUES

our story, our values, our purpose

Rothamsted is a world-leading research centre with a proud history of ground-breaking discoveries in agricultural science since its founding in 1843.

In terms of its economic contribution, the cumulative impact of our work in the UK now exceeds £3000 million a year (Rothamsted Research and the Value of Excellence. Séan Rickard, 2015).

We view science as a continuum, from blue skies to green fields, and strategic research as the tool to confront complex problems. We combine both, supported by unique capabilities and interdisciplinary teams, strengthened by partnerships. Such a systems approach is the only way to achieve highly productive but environmentally-benign farming and food innovations.

Diversity & Equality Policy

The organisation’s success depends on its ability to draw on the skills, understanding and experience of its people. The potential rewards of diversity are significant: an organisation that recruits its employees from the widest possible pool will draw on a wider pool of talent and experience, and create an environment where employees are valued and supported, and appreciate their colleagues’ contribution.
