About AES

THE SOCIETY was founded in 1926. It is a learned society and a company limited by guarantee. It promotes the study and teaching of all disciplines relevant to the agricultural, food and related industries, and to rural society and environment. Pictured above is the group photo taken at the Centenary Conference in 2026 at Wadham College, University of Oxford. Contrast that with the group photo taken in the same place at the AES Conference of June 1932.
