Our ongoing project at Glen Finglas has shown how sensitive biodiversity is to changing upland management. To maintain consistency, we have used the same monitoring methods since the beginning of the project. However, one of the benefits of long-term projects is that new technology emerges and can be incorporated to allow more detailed understanding to be developed.
This study was a preliminary investigation into the feasibility of developing a data tool to help drive efficiency in the sheep sector. Steps towards this have already been made in cattle with the development of the MyHerdStats tool (available through ScotEID) but, at the moment, there is no similar tool available for sheep.
The Shetland Islands are some of the most remote Islands of the UK. Therefore, opportunities for hands-on STEM science and knowledge exchange of cutting-edge research can be challenging due to distance, weather and cost. Funding from SEFARI Gateway, provided an excellent opportunity to address this last issue by sending a team of SEFARI scientists from the Moredun Research and James Hutton Institutes to the Shetland Isles for an engaging week of animal health science at the Junior High Schools and local communities.
Over the past decade, the European Commission has invested in a series of measures designed to support innovation in agriculture through networking all those involved in Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS): farmers, advisors, supply chain members, NGOs and researchers.
Katrin Prager is Reader (Associate Professor) in the Department of Geography and Environment. Originally from Germany, she was trained in landscape planning and management, and then focussed on sustainable land management and governance.
The aim of this fellowship was to identify current and potential market opportunities and describe the supply chain for hempseed and fibre in Scotland.

Castration and tail docking of lambs are commonly performed management procedures in sheep farming. These interventions aim to prevent unwanted pregnancies caused by young rams that reach puberty, and to minimise risk of blowfly strike and maggot infestation of the breech, respectively. However, the procedures themselves cause pain and hence reduce sheep welfare.
