Reports & invited lectures
Conferences organised Additional information Martyn Warren studied Agriculture and Agricultural Economics at Newcastle and Reading Universities. He started teaching farm management at Harper Adams Agricultural College in 1974, before moving to Seale-Hayne College where for several years he was the Course Manager of the Diploma in Farm Management (later the Diploma/MSc in Advanced Agricultural Business Management). From 1993 to 2003 was Head of the Department of Land Use and Rural Management in the University of Plymouth, part of the Faculty of Land, Food and Leisure at the Seale-Hayne Campus in Newton Abbot. Joined the School of Geography on the dissolution of faculty and department in August 2003. He is an experienced trainer in management for rural businesses, and his publications include various studies of agricultural change and the resulting employment and training needs. His book Financial Management for Farmers, and Rural Managers, now in its fourth edition, has become a standard student textbook in the UK and abroad. He is Chairman of the Editorial Board of the journal Farm Management, and a Council Member of the Institute of Agricultural Management. During the last decade his academic interests have moved away from the specifics of rural business towards more general issues of rural development, and particularly the role of information and communication technologies in this process. In addition he has been involved in many regional development activities, and has undertaken various policy-related research projects for local government and regional organizations.
