SUMMARY:45th TB Macaulay Lecture: Valuing nature for transformation: innovations in policy\, finance and practice around the world
DESCRIPTION:We are absolutely delighted to announce that the 45th TB Macaulay lecture will be delivered by globally renowned environmental expert\, Professor Gretchen C. Daily on 10th September at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre. \nPresented in partnership with the Macaulay Development Trust and The James Hutton Institute; the event aims to connect scientific evidence with civic society around critical issues affecting land and people. \nProfessor Daily is co-founder and Faculty Director of the Stanford Natural Capital Project\, Bing Professor of Environmental Science and Director of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford University; and is also a past member of the First Minister’s Environment Council in Scotland. \nIn her lecture\, she will describe how important it is to understand human dependence on nature\, from the material basics such as nutrition\, health\, climate security and economic security\, to the more ethereal concepts of belonging\, beauty\, and spirit. She will argue that being able to access and action this understanding is crucial when it comes to making the necessary transformations in society and in taking the decisions that are required to secure the biosphere and our human future. \n\n\n\nAn awakening is underway\, to the values of nature as an engine of well-being and prosperity – and to the risks and devastating costs of its loss. In her lecture\, Professor Gretchen C. Daily will describe key frontiers in understanding human dependence nature – for material basics of nutrition\, health\, climate security\, and economic security to ethereal senses of belonging\, beauty\, and spirit. Making this understanding accessible and actionable is crucial\, to inform the profound societal transformations necessary to secure the biosphere and the human future. \nThrough vivid examples\, Gretchen will bring to life the rapidly growing movement to bring the values of earth’s lands\, waters\, and biodiversity into the mainstream of decision-making. She will describe pioneering models of success for valuing nature in policy\, planning\, finance\, and practice. These innovations – often born in small countries – use new forms of science\, technology\, and partnership. They are increasingly scalable\, illuminating pathways toward green\, inclusive development across the world. \nAs Scotland pursues a strategic approach to natural capital whilst aiming to have a Nature Positive Scotland by 2030\, Gretchen will outline how crucial the role is of recognising the value of natural capital in transitioning towards a more sustainable economy and society and consider the policy and practices that other countries have adopted in approaching this complex yet hugely important and hopeful transformation. \n\n\n\n\nLecture Abstract:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are absolutely delighted to announce that the 45th TB Macaulay lecture will be delivered by globally renowned environmental expert\, Professor Gretchen C.

SUMMARY:Arable Scotland 2024
DESCRIPTION:Come and be inspired by arable innovation at Scotland’s premier arable event. Arable Scotland is a free\, day long event taking place on 2nd July\, 2024. This is a chance for key players in food production\, from farmers and agronomists to machinery and AgriTech suppliers\, and to processors and distillers\, to demonstrate and discuss industry issues such as innovative and sustainable farming. \nArable Scotland has something for everyone\, providing knowledge and inspiration for farmers to take steps towards a more sustainable future. We’ll be featuring talks and trade stands focussing on knowledge and solutions for the arable industry. \nArable Scotland is supported and promoted by The James Hutton Institute\, and partnered with the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). We organise Arable Scotland each year and are here to promote learning and agricultural innovation which can ultimately contribute towards better sustainable farming practices. Let us help you take the next step towards this goal. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nBASIS and NRoSo points will be available. \nPlease visit the Arable Scotland website for more information and to book your space.

SUMMARY:Agroforestry Open Weekend
DESCRIPTION:We are taking part in this year’s Agroforestry Open Weekend. \nOur event is a collaboration between The James Hutton Institute and Aberdeen University who are partners in our FarmTree project. \nOn Sunday 19th May\, we will run a guided walk (starting at 10:00) to look at the established agroforestry plots and the recently planted new agroforestry plots – expected to take 1.5 hours. \nAfter returning to the farm buildings there will be some light refreshments provided and a demonstration of some of the online tools being developed in the FARMTREE project. There will be opportunities for visitors to give their views on the tools\, as well as the role of trees on farms and constraints that need to be addressed etc. \nMore information on Glensaugh can be found on Agroforestry Open Weekend’s website and here. \nShould there be a high level of interest we may run a repeat session in the afternoon. Keep an eye on the booking page. \n

SUMMARY:Climate Positive Farming – Taster Day at Glensaugh
DESCRIPTION:As part of Climate Week North East\, join the team behind the Climate-Positive Farming Initiative at Glensaugh\, for a farm walk and indoor displays to learn more about our research actions to address the climate and biodiversity crises\, with transformative farming and technological innovations. \nAs you walk with our team up the glen\, over the moor and through the fields\, you can find out all the muddy details about restoring our peatlands\, adding new herbs into our grasslands\, integrating trees and wildlife on the farm\, natural flood management\, managing farmland for beneficial insects and much more. The guided farm walk is followed by an indoor display with coffee and tea\, during which the Hutton team will discuss specific projects and answer your questions. \nEach walk will take about 90 minutes\, covering 3k in distance\, and there will be some steep inclines on the trail\, so be sure to bring your hiking boots. The farm walk is family friendly\, however the route is not accessible for wheeled transport users – such as pushchairs\, wheelchairs\, motorised scooters. \nThis event will consist of 4 different tours of Glensaugh farm at the available time slots: \n\n21st March at 10:00AM\n21st March at 2:00PM\n22nd March at 10:00AM\n22nd March at 2:00PM\n\nHere is more information on Glensaugh and the work carried out here on Climate – Positive Farming. \nIf you have any queries\, please contact events@hutton.ac.uk.

SUMMARY:44th TB Macaulay Lecture - Johan Rockström
DESCRIPTION:The lecture was held on Thursday evening (18th October 2023) in Edinburgh\, where we were honoured to host Johan Rockström\, who is internationally recognised for his work on global sustainability issues. We were delighted to welcome an audience of over 500 attendees to the event. \nJohan’s talk covered the latest scientific results of the health of the earth system\, including the recent work of the Earth Commission and also an update on the “Earth for All” scenario\, analysing pathways towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals within planetary boundaries. \n“The science is clear: the rising frequency and amplitude of extreme events is just one consequence of overshooting 1.5 °C warming\, which is a real biophysical limit\, and beyond which multiple tipping points in the earth system are not only likely to be triggered\, but run a risk of causing tipping cascades”. -Professor Johan Rockström \nAfter 11.000 years of a remarkably stable climate which has formed the support for civilisation to evolve comfortably; activities of the last 70 years have moved us into a period where human activity has started to significantly impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems. \nWe face multiple global crises\, afflicting built and natural environments\, health and well-being\, wealth and economic development\, social stability and security – culminating in the risk of a polycrisis – a cluster of related global risks with compounding effects whose overall impact exceeds the sum of each part. \nThe lecture reflects on where we stand shortly before the COP28\, to be held in Dubai\, and his thoughts on the corrective action needed in order to keep the entire system in its current inter-glacial state. \nOn behalf of the Macaulay Development Trust and The James Hutton Institute; we would like to thank everyone who attended. \nA recording of  the 44th Macaulay Lecture is available on The James Hutton Institute’s YouTube channel.
