Professor Deborah Roberts

Deb is Director of Science at the James Hutton Institute, and her research experience includes agricultural economics and regional science, with a nuber of inter-related areas. relation to rural and regional development she focuses on understanding how and why rural economies are unique, the key drivers for change, and reasons for regional disparities. Second, in relation to the policy, she has focussed on modelling the economy-wide impacts of changes in farm, forestry and structural policies using social accounting methods and general equilibrium models.

The Demographic Challenges Facing Scotland's Sparsely Populated Areas

This case study summarises ongoing work exploring how changes in the population of remote and rural areas in Scotland affect the social, economic and ecological resilience of these areas. The Sparsely Populated Areas (SPA) of Scotland have a demographic legacy which, in the absence of intervention, will result in decades of population decline, and shrinkage of its working-age population, on a scale which implies serious challenges for economic development, and consequences for its landscape and ecology which are poorly understood.

Do we have the evidence to support place based policies?

Many would argue that it has never been easier to access numerical data about people and places in Scotland. Partly because of OpenData principles, public bodies release large volumes of freely accessible data via online portals such as statistics.gov.scot and data.gov.uk.

What Exactly is Place Based Rural Policy?

The Scottish Rural Parliament will meet in Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway. In the lead-up to this meeting, we are publishing two blog posts about place-based rural policy. The first of these is written by Andrew Copus, James Hutton Institute and Jane Atterton, the Rural Policy Centre, SRUC, who start off by explaining what exactly is place based rural policy.

Antimicrobials: A topic for the table

Antimicrobial is a broad term used to describe antibiotics that include antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasite and antiviral agents. The bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses evolve over time and develop traits (a resistance) which enable them to survive exposure to medicines that would normally kill them, and this can have life threatening consequences.

Protecting our soil and securing the way ahead

A large proportion of the Scottish strategic road network in the Highlands is vulnerable to landslides. Landslides in Scotland have significant economic impact and they may increase in frequency with the intense rainfall events associated with a changing climate. The potential of vegetation to decrease vulnerability to landslides has been demonstrated in the laboratory, and increased vulnerability to landslides has often been noted after vegetation clearance in the field.
