Debbie Rosa

Debbie has worked with AHDB since 2010 and in technical roles linked to horticulture for over 30 years.

Her PhD studies were in association with a growing media manufacturer, before moving on to work on post-harvest horticultural projects for third world countries within the Natural Resources Institute (NRI)

She then joined Horticulture Research International (HRI) and worked on ornamental glasshouse crops and edible crops at the Efford and Wellesbourne sites (which became Warwick Crop Centre).

The majority of her applied research work involved working closely with commercial growers.

Debbie was the Head of Knowledge Exchange for AHDB Horticulture. In this role, she liaised with growers over new plans, to direct current activity and share research outcomes.

In 2024, she joined AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds as a Senior Research and KE Manager.

Debbie finds interacting with growers the most rewarding and simulating part of her role.
