We were delighted to host the UK agricultural partnership event. It was a fantastic opportunity for industry, research and policy makers to come together and discuss the pressing issues. Thank you to all who came along #FoodSecurity

Next The Advanced Plant Growth Centre (APGC) talk is tomorrow at 2pm folks and looks to be a cracker. Hear Professor Jane Rickson, Cranfield University, talk about “Soil health and the challenges/opportunities in controlled environment agriculture”. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/soil-health-…

It was a pleasure to see so many stakeholders at James Hutton Institute on Monday to discuss food security. Innovations in agritech are key in helping to make sure our food production is more secure.

The results are IN! According to a new fungal study from James Hutton Institute and Plantlife Scotland; the most #speciesrich #munro summit in the Cairngorms was found to be Beinn a’Bhuird! What other discoveries did our #citizenscientists uncover? More here⬇️plantlife.org.uk/uk/about-us/ne…

Hear more about our #CitizenScience #fungi project with Plantlife Scotland. Listen to Dr Ruth Mitchell discuss the effort and distance covered by the volunteer sample collectors in the Cairngorms. From 1:03 onwards> northsound.listennow.link/20030677?t=1m0… Project details: bit.ly/3IA1YSL

Sad to hear of the passing of James Lovelock, creator of Gaia theory of ‘living’ Earth. What a contribution he made, particularly relevant given that his ideas were built on those of James Hutton’s theory of the Earth. Clear thinkers can be so rare and far apart in history.

Stunning day in Glasgow for day 2 of the #WCSS2022, come and visit the SEFARI Gateway stand (6) and say hello 😁

Great to catch up and discuss ideas, particularly meaningful given that James Hutton was a founder of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His innovative thinking and challenging of ideas changed how the world is viewed and serves as the inspiration for our approach to our work today

A pleasure to speak at the Royal Bank Business Scotland Public Sector conference today and to discuss our Scottish Government funded science as well as our work with local authorities via initiatives such as the Tay Cities Deal deal.

Good to talk to Michael Gove about the impact our science has for the food, drink and other industries which rely on healthy and resilient crops for their future sustainability #cropscienceleaders #foodsecurity #huttonscience

Thanks to John Lamont MP 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (Lamont) and Robert Gatliff from Edinburgh Geological Society for great discussion today at #SiccarPoint, talking about the legacy of the father of modern #geology #JamesHutton, at the actual site where he made his world-changing discoveries. #huttonsunconformity

It was a pleasure to talk with Sir Mark Spencer from Defra UK who had a good understanding of the issues facing our potato sector as a result of climate change, pest and resilience. Looking forward to continuing the conversation.

This promises to be an excellent lecture - looking forward to it immensely.

Good to talk about the significant contribution #HuttonScience is making towards achieving national and international goals for the economy and environment with individuals who care about science in Scotland.

Investment in our work is an investment for every person in the UK in continuing to secure our food chains of crops upon which whole industries depend. A great visit from Douglas Ross MSP to show how #Hutton science is working towards future proofing against climate change.

It was a pleasure for us at the James Hutton Institute to host Johan Rockström together with the Macaulay Development Trust and to listen to this global pioneer in climate change thinking. Important messages around the need for effective engagement and communication and the need to embed change.
