Rural development is a policy led process that helps to
shape the future sustainability of our countryside, and Moulton based Higher
Education students studying agriculture and land management have been assisting
in the process by working with a number of high profile local country estates.
Building on links with Lamport Hall, Kelmarsh Hall Operations Manager Des Brack
has recently been helping to co-ordinate some student assessment work where
students have pitched researched estate diversification ideas for him to
feedback to Trustees. Most recently, the BSc Land Management group will team up
with estate manager Mark Henderson at Castle Ashby Estates to tackle some
similar problem solving activities. This innovative approach to assessing students
means they are able to link theoretical subjects to applied outcomes, and
directly links their course to the ‘real-world’.
