The Rural Business Unit within the Department of Land Economy is a leading UK centre in Agricultural and Horticultural Economics and undertakes a substantial programme of research for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Aber is one of the best-known names in the world of agriculture. ‘Land-based studies’ have been taught there for over 120 years during which time Aber has built up a reputation as one of the leading universities for degree and diploma courses in agriculture.

This work involves the analysis of farm businesses and commodity enterprises in order to inform agricultural policy in Whitehall and Brussels and the evaluation of policy measures such as set-aside.

Researchers in the unit also undertake research and produce publications on the food aid policy of the European Union, the effect of CAP income distribution and food security and the reform of the sugar regime. They also provide advice to the Select Committees and Government bodies. A range of undergraduate programs are offered at the facility.
