Vegetation structure affects the territory size of meadow pipits
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.
WHAT’S IN YOUR KEBAB?
Food fraud costs the UK around £2 billion per year, and improving testing methods is key to tackling this issue. However, current techniques often lack the speed and accuracy needed to detect mislabelled meat products. Researchers at the Rowett Institute have developed a cutting-edge method called MEATiCode, which can simultaneously identify multiple meat species in a single processed food sample.
Adding value to Scottish salmon – what’s in a name?
Farmed salmon is one of Scotland’s main exports, benefitting the national economy and local communities.
Determining the lifestyle factors which cause particular members of the older population to become ill with foodborne illness - Report
The aim of this SEFARI fellowship with Food Standards Scotland was to determine the lifestyle factors which cause members of the older population to become ill with foodborne illness.
Report prepared by: Dr Ellen W. Evans ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre, Cardiff Metropolitan University
Mapping of UK seafood supply reveals mismatch between production and consumption, and large nutrient losses through exports.
Transforming our diets to build a more sustainable food system is paramount to achieving net zero. Here, we provide a high-resolution perspective on United Kingdom (UK) seafood supplies and nutrient flows at species level. We mapped seafood production (capture and aquaculture), trade (imports and exports), purchases (within and out-of-home), and seafood consumption, between 2009 and 2020.

Keeping the three-legged stool in balance: the physical, chemical and biological health of our soil
On April 14th, 1935, the largest dust storm in American history occurred. A black cloud carrying 300,000 tons of topsoil from the Great Plains deposited dust as far away as New York. This day was the culmination of a perfect storm of events, ravaging millions of hectares of farmland.
