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 [1] and details of opportunities for colleges and universities [1] to visit the Institute.
The Living Field [2] 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.
