Biography
My research interests are wide ranging, including sustainability in agriculture, rural land use, and human interaction with green spaces. Some of my previous work has focused on the relationships between green spaces and sense of belonging.
I am currently working on several projects across these areas:
MOVING H2020 – MOuntain Valorisation through INterconnectedness and Green Growth
C3-1 – Scottish Land Use Transformations
C6-1 – Reciprocal Care for Nature and Wellbeing
Previous work at Hutton has included a project exploring the potential of regional farm and rural support groups to stimulate green finance markets, a CREW funded project exploring the impact of future water scarcity in Scotland on distilleries and agriculture, the EU H2020 project FRAMEwork and evaluation work for Cumbernauld Living Landscape
