This paper highlights opportunities for improving health expectancies in the UK population through improved protein consumption.
The opportunities and challenges of farmer-owned businesses working together to benefit themselves, their peers and their communities will be explored as part of the new fellowship. The direct economic returns of farm cooperatives, such as reduced costs through economies of scale, are easier to calculate while the wider social benefits are harder to capture. The fellowship will look to develop a standard and practical method for assessing the co-op business model, including both the direct and indirect benefits. Funded by the Scottish Government, the fellowship will be jointly delivered by
“We are delighted to have contributed from our side to the success of this work with our Moredun colleagues. It demonstrates once again the benefits of interdisciplinary research, and in particular of thoughtful and effective experimental design and data analysis to promote the optimal use of animals in scientific research.” A research paper co-authored by Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BioSS) scientists has been named as joint winner of the 2019 3Rs prize, a prestigious award which recognises work that has had a major impact on the replacement, reduction and refinement of the use of
Research Interests: Greenhouse gas emissions from grasslands Carbon and nitrogen budgets Ammonia measurements (gradient technique) from grasslands Chamber measurement techniques (N2O, CO2, CH4) Current Research Projects: Pilot study on feasibility of on-farm field sampling of GHG fluxes (esp N2O). Quality meat Scotland (QMS) funded. Measurements using standard static chamber techniques comparing with an open dynamic chamber using photo acoustic measurements in order to understand the different measurement approaches, and in particular evaluate the performance of the new automatic technique for
