Fera uses data science, risk modelling and environmental expertise to provide policy advice and solutions that help government, industry and individuals work sustainably to create more resilient agriculture, ecosystems and societies.

Spatial Analysis, Remote Sensing and UAV

Our UAVs can be deployed to capture bespoke aerial imagery over agricultural, forestry, quarrying, open mining and construction environments.

Land Use Policy

Fera brings together evidence and insights from across our work in agri-environmental stewardship, remote sensing, spatial analysis and mapping, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), pollinator research and pesticide usage surveys.

Agri-Environment Schemes

Our work involves monitoring and surveillance of biodiversity, in particular pollinators, over time to assess the impacts of specific policies, schemes and practices.

Economics

Fera can help you to understand the likely impacts and cost-effectiveness of your decisions and actions, so you can make well-informed choices on how to deploy the economic resources available.

Our Environmental Sciences

Research and development services to help farmers, policymakers and chemical product manufacturers safeguard essential pollinators – enhancing crop yields, boosting nutritional content and supporting environmentally sustainable agriculture.

Pollinator R&D from Fera

A quick and accurate alternative to traditional methods of surveying, during the breeding season we offer environmental DNA (eDNA) testing for the presence of great crested newts in pond water.

We can also undertake DNA barcoding, a technique we can use to identify different individual species from environmental DNA.
