Postgraduate Research Opportunities

We have a vibrant PhD student community in Agriculture and Food Systems working across our research themes and in collaboration with many partners locally and globally.

Staff from the global academy

The Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems offers an outstanding interdisciplinary research and training environment, with a global perspective, underpinned by first class facilities and research excellence. Our research students play a central role in this vibrant and collaborative community. Here we outline details of our PhD programme, and we very much hope you are able to join us for this next stage of your career.

Research profile

A figure eight loop with research themes embedded

Our research and associated education and engagement are in two broad themes – Food System Transformation; and Healthy People, Healthy Planet - and especially the interactions between them ​​​​​. 

Our research

Improving the effectiveness and sustainability of agri-food systems is vital to tackling the challenges of global population growth, rapid urbanisation, food and environmental security, and diet and health. These challenges occur in low and middle income countries, as well as more industrialised nations. Achieving sustainable, healthy diets underpins many of the Sustainable Development Goals – especially those concerned with hunger, poverty, health, gender equality, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.

We welcome applicants whose research interests are aligned to address one or more of these challenges, and who hold the potential to develop and translate scientific advances into policy and practice. Most of our research is interdisciplinary in its approach, and we collaborate with other Schools and groups across the University of Edinburgh, and with a wide range of national and international partners.

Our current specific expertise spans:

Nutrition and health of humans, livestock, crops and soils; environmental and agri-food systems; crop and livestock production systems; climate smart agriculture; agricultural and natural resource economics; development; data science and mathematical modelling; the science-policy interface; food and land rights and law.

We welcome applicants with interests in these areas. Please also see staff webpages for more details of potential supervisor research interests.

To begin an application, visit the programme information on the University's course finder webpages.

PhD Agriculture and Food Security

Programme structure

Study is by supervised research. Individual students are integrated within their supervisor’s group, the Global Academy and School, and participate fully in activities such as journal clubs, group meetings and seminar programmes. You will be expected to complete a piece of original research, directed towards solving important, novel and open questions.

Depending on the field of study you are interested in, you may be able to apply for a pre-defined PhD project, or you may need to develop your own research idea. 

Training and support

Photo of support staff helping a student

The Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems provides a vibrant community and forum for development of ideas, collaboration, and dissemination of results, and an environment for training, development and mentoring of research students and early-career researchers.

Research projects are usually co-designed by students and supervisors, and guidance throughout the PhD is also offered by the student’s thesis committee. Training needs are identified by the thesis committee and will be both generic skills based and project specific.

The University’s Institute for Academic Development provides a range of training courses, resources and support for researchers including PhD students https://www.ed.ac.uk/institute-academic-development/postgraduate/doctoral

There will also be the opportunity, where appropriate, to attend Global Academy MSc degree programme lectures and to make use of online learning materials.

There is also the opportunity for industry engagement or placements within the PhD programme.

The Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems has access to an impressive range of facilities and services across the University and is involved with a number of collaborative centres of research excellence locally, nationally and internationally. We are exceptionally well-equipped with the latest technologies to enable our researchers to stay at the forefront of their fields.

Career opportunities

A wide range of career paths will be available to our graduates depending on their area of research study, these include: researchers in academia or industry; policy advisors for government departments, NGOs (non-governmental organisations), charities or industry bodies; technical advisors; consultants; teachers; economists; marketing and management roles throughout the agri-food chain.

Funding for PhD study

AHRC Scholarships

Depending on the field of study you are interested in, you may be able to apply for a pre-defined PhD project, or you may need to develop your own research idea.

  • CoSS PhD Scholarship – Agricultural cooperatives and market supply chains

CoSS PhD Scholarship – Agricultural cooperatives and market supply chains

The PhD is jointly supervised at Adam Smith Business School, University of Glasgow and Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC), with support from the non-academic partner Just Trading Scotland (JTS).

As in many African countries, agriculture in Malawi represents 34.7 percent of the GDP while generating over 53 percent of the country's export earnings and employs 87 percent of the total labour force. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world, with 50.7 percent of the population living below the poverty line and 81 percent of these poor residing in rural areas. Agriculture for development is widely recognised as a promising strategy for poverty alleviation. Despite its significance, investment in agriculture has been lagging, hampered by extensive market and government failures. Supply-side interventions aim to overcome constraints to adoption, while demand-side intervention creates incentives to modernise value-chains. The supply-side approach has benefited from extensive research but met with limited success. In contrast, the demand-side approach is promising but has received insufficient attention and needs rigorous research.

Since 2007 Just Trading Scotland (JTS) and Kaporo Smallholder Farmers Association (KASFA) have come together with an intervention to eliminate constraints on both supply- and demand-side. JTS is a not-for-profit fair-trade organisation based in Scotland, while KASFA is a Malawi farmers' association. Working closely with JTS, farmers connect to global output markets, receive extension services, and access subsidised input markets through interest-free loans. JTS launched a certified-seed-multiplication scheme, which has created a surplus seed bank, thus enhancing members' capacities and resilience to external shocks. JTS purchases certified rice produce, providing a broader market for Kilombero Rice across Europe. A rigorous impact evaluation of this program remains elusive. In collaboration with JTS and KASFA, the proposed PhD project will investigate the effect of the program on both supply- and demand-side and examine its impact on poverty and household welfare. The study will generate impact and make novel contributions to the literature by examining the dual side agricultural intervention on crop productivity, market access, and household welfare.

They consider the wider agri-food industry, with the focus on production agriculture as well as related issues such as environmental and countryside protection and animal welfare.

The agricultural and poultry industries are primarily concerned with the production of basic foodstuffs on farms, but also include the supply of inputs for farming such as fertiliser, seeds, animal feed and machinery.

Accounting for over 10 per cent of employment and Gross Domestic Product, the agri-food industry is an integration of agriculture with other sectors of the food chain, such as processing, distribution and retailing.
