The Organic Studies Centre

What and where?

The Organic Studies Centre is committed to the delivery of a high quality trials, demonstration and training programme for organic agriculture. This is achieved by working closely with organic producers, conducting sound scientific investigation and ensuring effective dissemination of information.

Based at the Rosewarne campus, the Organic Studies Centre is part of Duchy College's Rural Business School. Staff at the Centre are involved in a wide range of research and training activities in Cornwall, in the wider south west of England and also through national and international projects.
