Why choose Hadlow College?
Sustainability Agenda
Our exciting new decarbonisation and sustainable development initiative includes the creation of a pioneering ‘robotic orchard and vineyard’, designed to promote sustainability—an essential component of modern land-based industries. This state-of-the-art orchard and vineyard are planted with vines and stone fruits, enabling students to learn about and utilise advanced technologies such as automated spraying, robotic harvesting, and drones for tasks like yield mapping. By embracing cutting-edge technology, we ensure our students are at the forefront of the sustainable farming industry. We also have a fantastic partnership with Thanet Earth and are Kent’s first Centre of Excellence in Greenhouse Growing.
