SEFARI is an important partner in ‘ Make Innovation Happen’, which is an initiative coordinated by the Scotland Food and Drink Partnership.
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.

SEFARI scientists are investigating the potential benefits of supplementary soluble indigestible fibres for promoting healthy weight loss.
"To join the RSE, which James Hutton himself had a leading role in establishing, makes this even more significant for me and the Institute" Professor Colin Campbell, Chief Executive of the James Hutton Institute and current SEFARI Chair, has been made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) has announced 66 new UK and International Fellows, which will help the RSE to continue providing independent and expert advice to policymakers, support aspiring entrepreneurs, develop research capacity and leadership and engage with the public through events.

“This project builds on our previous work on potato in collaboration with African scientists and highlights our ability to transfer knowledge from one crop to another” Scientists from the James Hutton Institute are taking part in an international research effort aimed at pinpointing the quality traits that determine the adoption of new root, tuber and banana (RTB) varieties of cassava, yam, sweet potato, plantain and tropical potato developed by breeders in Africa.

My research focuses on understanding the interaction between wildlife populations, and management practices and land use. My current research includes work on mountain hares, capercaillie, and upland waders. I use large scale experiments, correlational, and modelling approaches to assess how management and land use affect individual species and communities, and how wildlife can sustainably co-exist in human dominated landscapes. I represent the James Hutton Institute on the Scotland's Moorland Forum, and I am a member of the Working for Waders Facilitation group, and subgroups. More details of
