LANDMARK 2016
Entrepreneurial students from the RAU and
Cirencester College sold their wares at the
first ever Cirencester youth market in March
2016, which was organised in conjunction
with Cirencester Town Council. It was a
successful day all round, with good sales
and an excellent reception from the public.
The market gave local students the
opportunity to sell products they had
made or designed. Stalls included: RAU
entrepreneur Lewis Steer and his innovative
wool business Lily Warne Wool; RAU
graduate Sophie O’Meara and her stunning
Sophie Cotton pencil drawings; Gabrielle
Martin-Goff selling her beautiful Sew Little
clothes; Olivia Harris and her creative
home accessories; James Keen selling Bin
Feet; and Casey Chard, Meghan Sugrue,
and Sophie Adkins offering Seat Buddy.
Organised by the Cirencester E4
Education Group (the RAU, Cirencester
College, Deer Park School, and Kingshill
School), the event aimed to inspire young
people to set up their own business,
and encourage interaction between
students and the local community.

Insight into
rural land
management
Jeremy Moody, newly appointed
Visiting Professor of Rural Land
Management and Policy at the RAU,
drew attention to the enormous
pressures on land use that would
come from forecast population growth
in the UK by the early 2030s, at his
inaugural lecture in March 2016.
Jeremy Moody, Secretary and Adviser
to the CAAV, said: “The increase
of 10 million people is likely to be
overwhelmingly in the southern and
eastern areas of England, bringing
pressures for land use through
increased demand for housing,
employment, infrastructure, as well
as competition for resources such as
water, leisure, amenity, and so forth.”
Professor Ali Parsa, Dean of the
School of Real Estate and Land
Management, said: “Jeremy is a
highly respected policy advisor in
the area of Single Payment System,
farm tenancy, and valuation, and his
appointment as Visiting Professor
will be a real benefit to the RAU.”
