From research to outcomes: Showcasing crop science research from the RESAS Science Research Programme and its benefit to Scotland and beyond
On 7th December 2017 at Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA) in Edinburgh, scientists working on crop science within the Scottish Government-funded Science Research Programme (WP2.1 – Crop and grassland production and disease control) presented their research and relevant outcomes to SG policy colleagues and key stakeholders. Presentations and posters are available below:
Setting the scene:
- Denise A’Hara (RESAS)
- Gerry Saddler (Head of SASA and Chief Plant Health Officer for Scotland)
