Scientists at The James Hutton Institute, Scotland’s pre-eminent interdisciplinary scientific research institute for the sustainable management of land, crop and nature resources, have developed a new test that reduces the time required to analyse water samples for indicators of faecal contamination from 24 hours to four.
The EuroBlight monitoring team has published its first set of results for the 2025 potato season.
The first original research paper to be published by a student on the BARIToNE programme has demonstrated that microalgae could provide a sustainable alternative to conventional mineral fertilisers for malting barley production.
Putting field beans into cereal rotations can reduce fertiliser use, lower environmental impacts and increase the yield of the barley crop that follows.
Scientists at The James Hutton Institute have set a new record by winning the 13th Reynolds Cup, an international contest that tests how accurately laboratories can measure what a mineral sample is made from.
Across many sectors, decision-making and planning processes have typically not prioritised or consider nature as important. As a result, nature continues to be degraded. One response to this challenge is the concept of ‘Natural Capital’ – the stocks and flows of services arising from nature.
