Arable Scotland special: discussing “Farming in a new era” with special guests from LEAF and AHDB

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

mardi 11 juin 2024 • Durée 33:13

This year’s Arable Scotland is all about farming in a new era. It’s about how the future is already here and the challenges that brings, from climate and weather chaos to biodiversity loss and the impact of global events on key supply chains. To unpick what some of this means, as an appetiser for Arable Scotland, we have special guests from Linking Environment and Farming (LEAF) and the Agriculture and Horticulture Development board (AHDB), alongside our very own Hutton agroecologist Ali Karley to discuss the challenges.

Host:
Elaine Maslin, Media Officer (Aberdeen) at the Hutton

Guests:
David Webster, chief executive of LEAF. David joined LEAF from the UK Grocery Division of Associated British Foods where he was Director of Sustainability and External Affairs. He cut his teeth with Jordans (Cereals), working closely with founders Bill and David Jordan on their breakfast cereal brand and a commitment to wildlife friendly farming.

Adrian James, knowledge exchange manager for cereals and oilseeds in Scotland for the AHDB. sAdrian comes from a mixed farm background in Herefordshire before moving into farm management in Sussex and Kent. He moved to Scotland in 2017 and took up his current role with AHDB in 2022, and he is deputy chair of the Arable Scotland committee.

Dr Alison Karley, an agroecologist here at the Hutton with more than 25 years’ experience in plant production and ecology. Ali leads the integrated cropping systems group at the Hutton and her work contributes towards crop diversification and integrated pest and disease management (IPM) research at the institute. Ali is chair of the Arable Scotland committee.

Turning to soil science to solve equine grass sickness

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 3 octobre 2023 • Durée 30:15

Our latest Hutton Highlights podcast looks at how efforts to discover the mystery cause of a devastating horse disease called equine grass sickness (EGS) have turned to soil science here at the Hutton.

We talk with experts from the Hutton and Moredun Research Institute, which is leading research in this area, on what this disease is, why we’re now looking at soil and what’s involved. We’re also joined by sisters Gillian Green and Emily Anderson, who have experienced the horror of equine grass sickness first hand. Between them, they are now helping to contribute to the work to find the cause of this deadly diseases.

To support this work, please visit Equine Grass Sickness | The James Hutton Institute

Interviewer:

Elaine Maslin, Media Officer at the Hutton

Guests:

Dr Beth Wells, a research scientist at Moredun Research Institute/the Equine Grass Sickness Fund.

Gillian Green, owner of equine grass sickness disease survivor Jed and manager of the National Soils Archive at the Hutton.

Agent based modelling – what is it and what can it do for us?

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 6 septembre 2023 • Durée 29:55

Our latest Hutton Highlights podcast takes a delve into the world of computer simulation. We recorded this episode during the European Social Simulation Association Summer School in Social Simulation. The week-long event at the end of August saw people from all over the world come to our at our Craigiebuckler campus in Aberdeen to look at how an advanced method of computer simulation called agent-based modelling can be used to tackle problems from climate change and energy to health and rewilding.

Interviewer:

Elaine Maslin, Media Officer

Guests:

Gary Polhill, senior research scientist at The James Hutton Institute and lead organiser of the European Social Simulation Association Summer School.

Connor Lovell, an ecologist doing a PhD into rewilding and ecosystem processes at the institute of Zoology at King’s College London.

Mariëlle Rietkerk from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Marielle is doing a PhD in the energy transition.

Dr Anu Mishra is working for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the US in the Institute for Disease Modelling as a senior research scientist. She has a background as a biostatistition.

Ryu Koide is a senior researcher at the National Institute for Environmental Studies.

Measuring and monitoring Scotland's peatlands, 600 m high on the Balmoral Estate

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mardi 15 août 2023 • Durée 36:48

For our latest Hutton Highlights podcast, we take a journey up to 600 m high on the Balmoral Estate with some of the experts from our world-leading multidisciplinary peatland team. Up close, what looks like a relatively normal exposed and barren hill is in fact an outdoor laboratory for experiments on peatland. We take a look at what's being done here, from pins to measure peat erosion to the flux tower that measures carbon and methane flux from this important ecosystem.

Introduction and interviewer:
Elaine Maslin, Media Officer

Guests:

Dr Rebekka Artz, research leader
Dr Tom Parker, upland carbon ecologist
Dr Mhairi Coyle, greenhouse gas and carbon dynamics researcher
Dr James Cash, data analyst
Dr Linda Toča, geospatial researcher

Our changing uplands; climate impacts, citizen science and plant disease risks

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 18 juillet 2023 • Durée 17:47

For our third Hutton Highlights podcast, we’re focusing on the Scottish uplands. We recorded this episode on site at the Scottish Game Fair at Scone Palace, where we were sharing our work in everything from preventing the spread of plant pathogens to citizen science soil sampling on Scotland’s Munros. You’ll hear from our guests about how perception and management of the uplands has changed, how we’re building the first baseline of alpine soil biodiversity across Scotland and how common plant pathogens are and what we can do to avoid spreading the bad ones.

*Please note, gun shots can be heard during the recording due to the clay pigeon range at the Game Fair.
