Alex Johnstone My food our world

Dr Alexander Ross

I am a biochemist in The Rowett Institute with an interest in mechanisms of body weight regulation and how to improve diets and prevent obesity. I have over 20 years of experience investigating food-gut-brain signalling with a recent focus on dietary fibre that can promote feelings of satiety and reduce food intake. My research via the Strategic Research Programme aims to help to improve the health of the Scottish population, particularly in the most deprived areas where poor diets and obesity are common.

The Centre for Sustainable Cropping: A long-term platform for research and innovation

The CSC is run by the James Hutton Institute and is the largest field-scale experiment at the institute, extending over 42 hectares and growing a variety of crops. It will also be the longest running experiment, since we aim to maintain the site for a minimum of 3 rotations (18+ years) to get a better understanding of the long-term impact of changes in how our crops are managed.
