The Nottingham Trent University course is attracting applications from across the world.

A university says applications are coming in from across the world to study a new masters degree in "smart agriculture" this September.

Senior researcher Dr Gadelhag Mohmad says his computer takes twice-daily readings to measure how his vegetables are responding to the nutrients and lighting mix in high-tech vertical farms. In the UK, the university's results are attracting interest from the commercial food sector, which wants to install similar shipping containers in distribution centres.

The university says graduates who become expert in these methods will be in demand as vulnerable crops fail and the impact of climate change worsens.
