We see science communication as an opportunity for learning and development

The James Hutton Institute is committed to raising awareness and understanding of science, and crop-based science in particular, to colleges, universities and the general public.

In Learning & Resources you can find resources for schools and details of opportunities for colleges and universities to visit the Institute.

The Living Field is an outreach project that consists of a community garden, study centre and an interactive educational resource for primary-aged children that can be played online or downloaded.

The James Hutton Institute is a LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) Innovation Centre. LEAF promotes environmentally responsible farming and brings together thousands of individuals and organisations to deliver a shared vision for the future of farming and food.

The Dirt Doctor promotes the importance of the soil in our everyday lives using a host of soil health profile characters like Sandy, Rocky and Heather.
