Working with Scotland’s water sector and water users such as the farming sector, school children and teachers, we have designed this informative, engaging and fun series of educational posters on the important topic of water.

The project was funded by SEFARI Gateway’s Responsive Opportunity Scheme as part of the Scottish

This year, the conference will focus on debating and discussing the roles animals play within topics such as dietary health, planetary health and mental health. The conference offers an opportunity for anyone who works with livestock through research or academia to get involved in lively discussion, and it’s also a great chance for delegates to build an international network. SEFARI Gateway will lead a 90-minute session for the second year in a row. This year, the discussion will focus on 'Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture', there will be keynote speakers and a live Q+A
My main area of interest lies in machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence and their applications in agriculture, specifically, data-driven phenotype prediction in dairy cattle.
Dietary patterns in Scotland remain unhealthy and this has an impact on health. In particular, the health harms associated with carrying excess body weight are well documented, with obesity now the second-biggest preventable cause of cancer, behind smoking.
