Cranfield University enjoys an internationally recognized reputation for excellence thanks to its Cranfield Soil and Agrifood Institute (CSAFI). The CSAFI has an impressive expertise reaching across both domestic and international food supply chains, from soil science to postharvest quality. The Institute’s work has a worldwide reach, including Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, South America and SE Asia where it uses its expertise to address challenges such as environmental sustainability.
CSAFI exhibits strong expertise in areas such as soil science, fundamental soil biophysics, soil biology and chemistry through to applied soil management, soil conservation and ecosystem services. Plant and microbial scientists link to our soils research through understanding rhizosphere processes and root trait genetics. The Institute is also a proud host of groups in postharvest biology and in food safety related to mycotoxins and microbiological spoilage, including the British Society of Soil Science.
Groundbreaking research being conducted here includes example genomics and gene discovery in plants and fungi, machine learning to predict fresh produce shelf life, and development of soil management information systems.
