Abstract
The UK plant science strategy establishes “Diverse People and Skills” as an important component of the future of plant science. However, ethnicity data from the UK Higher Education Statistics Authority show that UK plant science students are disproportionately white at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We explore possible reasons for this and offer recommendations for action.
