SEFARI Gateway is delighted to provide support for a new Fellowship with Public Health Scotland (PHS). We are seeking someone who can contribute to the development of a framework, by which the value of health and well-being derived from the natural capital of NHS Scotland outdoor estates can be estimated. Background The NHS Scotland Climate Emergency and Sustainability strategy requires all health boards to conduct an assessment that attaches a value to the benefits that arise from the natural capital resources from the green and blue spaces, and biodiversity to be found within their outdoor
A SEFARI Gateway funded Specialist Advisory Group report, detailing evidence based actions that could be undertaken by potato supply chains to reduce GHG emissions.
A SEFARI Gateway Fellowship Report. This report details research and technical developments made to enable forecasting of harvest time crop yield as the growing season develops using satellite imagery, data integration and modelling. The aim was to develop crop yield prediction capabilities to enhance the RESAS Scottish Crop Map, and to contribute to improvement and the future direction of this product. The objective was to develop an annual yield prediction model for high profile crops in Scotland.

Microbes (e.g., bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi) can become resistant to clinical or veterinary drugs (antimicrobials) that are used to treat disease. This has major consequences for how microbial diseases are managed and, therefore, how antimicrobial compounds should be used. Measuring antimicrobial usage (AMU) is a way to monitor the amount of medicines/chemicals that enter the food-chain, and the environment and this could help to reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This project, funded by the SEFARI Gateway, focused on the use of antimicrobials in livestock production, where it
