New RISS group members wanted: processing pulses for human consumption in Scotland

"The group is set to explore the potential of the pulses supply chain in Scotland, the challenges and possibilities, and collaborate to define a project that could benefit the locally grown pulses market" Are you involved in growing, processing or selling pulse-based products? A newly launched Rural Innovation Support Service (RISS) group is set to explore the potential of pulse supply chains in Scotland and associated challenges and possibilities, and collaborate to define a project that could benefit the locally-grown pulses market.

Hutton researcher awarded fellowship to study place-based climate action

Dr Alice Hague "North East Scotland is a really interesting area to study place-based climate action" Dr Alice Hague, a social scientist based at the James Hutton Institute’s Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences department in Aberdeen, has been awarded a fellowship by the Place-based Climate Action Network (PCAN) to study climate action in North East Scotland communities, focussing on areas where urban and rural meet. PCAN is a network supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) that focuses on the translation of climate policy into concrete, ‘on the ground’ community

Informing & influencing public opinion towards supporting UK livestock farmers

The concept for this project began when her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, attended a special event held on Monday 21st October 2019 at Pentlands Science Park, Midlothian, to celebrate Moredun’s commitment to the contribution of livestock to food production, biodiversity and the environment. Discussions included working in collaboration with partner organisations to help promote the wider benefits of livestock in sustainable food production, promoting biodiversity and minimising any impact on the environment. During the event it became clear the Scottish farming community already has many

Climate-positive spirit family grows with Nàdar Vodka

"The positive impacts exceed even those of free fertiliser, high protein feeds, tasty beverages, and carbon footprint – as if that was not enough" Coinciding with their launch of World Sustainable Spirits Day today (Fri 28th August), Scottish distillery Arbikie has introduced a second addition to their climate-positive spirit range: Nàdar Vodka, crafted from the pea-based spirit originally developed for Nàdar Gin, which avoids more carbon dioxide emissions than it creates with a carbon saving of over 1.53 kg CO 2e per bottle.

New European research into future-proof, resilient potatoes

"The funding will allow us to build on our research findings about potato stress responses and the involvement of major potato breeding companies will ensure translation of our science to end-users" A group of leading European academic research institutions including the James Hutton Institute have joined forces to launch the ADAPT (Accelerated Development of multiple-stress tolerAnt PoTato) project, which seeks to develop strategies to make potatoes fit for the challenging growth conditions of the future. The ADAPT project will take place over the next four years with a total budget of 5m

Making Worms Squirm: Sustainable Worm Control in Lambs through Precision Livestock Farming

Electronic identification (EID) tags have been compulsory in UK sheep flocks since 2010, and a decade after their introduction, can still be a controversial topic. But these tags, rather than just identifying individual animals, also offer a huge opportunity to improve efficiency and productivity on-farm; allowing a greater understanding of production rates on the farm, and perhaps even in particular fields, providing an early warning of potential problems. This type of precision livestock farming (PLF) is common in the dairy and pig sectors but has not had the same uptake in the sheep

Glen Mor: disease-resistant raspberry launched at Fruit for the Future 2020

“We are very excited to release Glen Mor as our first variety with the root rot marker, combining resistance with superior commercial quality" A new raspberry with exceptional fruit quality and high productivity, plus resistance to deadly disease root rot, was introduced today at the start of industry event Fruit for the Future 2020. The new rasp, named Glen Mor, was bred by James Hutton Limited in Dundee, with support from the UK Raspberry Breeding Consortium and the Scottish Government.

SAGES OnLine Annual Science Meeting 2020

We invite all SAGES and SEFARI members – student, professor and everyone in between, individually or in groups – to showcase a highlight of their work for the SAGES/SEFARI community online. Highlights could be about a research project, a scientific or technical breakthrough, a report on a recently published paper, a collaborative initiative between SAGES and other partners, a creative interdisciplinary project, an industry placement, an outreach or public engagement activity, or a research visit. We bring together these highlights in an online showcase format, to share, inspire and engage our

New digital resources to help farmers realise intercropping potential

"We’re currently very interested in hearing from any farmers that might want to get involved in running trials as part of the SEAMS project, particularly in the arable farming areas of eastern Scotland" Researchers at the James Hutton Institute and partner institutions are developing a suite of digital resources to help farmers harness the potential of crop mixtures to improve the sustainability of their production systems. More information from: Bernardo Rodriguez-Salcedo, Media Manager, James Hutton Institute, Tel: +44 (0)1224 395089 (direct line), +44 (0)344 928 5428 (switchboard) or +44 (0
