City of Lincoln
City of Lincoln
A unique, heritage experience filled with historical arts and culture
The city is crowned by Lincoln Cathedral, one of Europe's finest examples of Gothic architecture, which sits across a picturesque cobbled square from Lincoln Castle, built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. The engineering city, famous for inventing the tank during World War 1, is still innovating and building. The engineering school at the University of Lincoln is the first in the UK for more than 20 years, built in partnership with world famous company Siemens, and the Science and Innovation Park is home to state of the art research and laboratory facilities, with technology, chemistry, pharmaceutical and medical science at its heart. Lincoln is proud to boast two Universities; Bishop Grossteste University, with a vast curriculum, are experts in education and have been training teachers since 1862! Did you know that Lincoln is the only place in the world where you can find original copies of both the 1215 Magna Carta and the 1217 Charter of the Forest? That makes it a hugely popular visitor destination, and the local hospitality and catering industry is booming.

Agronomists have a wide range of work, but their role is best summed up as a “crop doctor.” They are concerned with the health and well-being of crops used for food production, fuel, and land reclamation.

An agronomist spends time in the lab going over crop data that has been collected to find out how to improve the next generation. They have to think critically and solve problems concerning the planting, harvesting, and cultivation of crops. They also develop methods for protecting the crops from weeds, pests, and harsh climates. After they have written up their research, an agronomist will make presentations and speeches about their findings and present their ideas to farmers who can use the information for their own harvests. An agronomist also spends a lot of time traveling and meeting with farmers, working with them to improve crop efficiency and looking at any problems the farmer may be experiencing.
There are a variety of roles an agronomist can specialize in:
Research
Research in agronomy includes crop productivity, genetic engineering, and conservation practises. Research agronomists often work in labs but also perform large amounts of field work. Almost all research agronomists have a master’s or doctorate degree in agronomy or a related field.

This role may also include the management of recreational areas, like golf courses and sports fields. This job usually involves a lot of time working outdoors.
Sustainable Development
Agronomists in this field work with all kinds of agricultural projects, ranging from large high-tech farms to smaller individual farms in developing nations. Whatever the size, this kind of agronomist is concerned with helping farmers develop and implement practises that ensure operations remain economically and environmentally viable for the future.
Soil and Water Conservation
Agronomists involved in this field are often scientists and engineers. They might implement practises to improve water quality, manage runoff, and control erosion. Depending on the job, conservation agronomists may spend time outdoors, in an office, or both.
