This investment is one of the largest for research and development focused on agriculture, environment, food and land in the UK. This approach is unique in the UK, as there is no equivalent research portfolio delivering multidisciplinary and, increasingly, interdisciplinary research at the national level. Connected to the SRP are the Scottish Centres of Expertise on climate, water and animal disease, whose remit focuses on areas of high policy relevance. These Centres draw upon the expertise of some our researchers and others from research and academic institutions across Scotland. There have

As the UK and its devolved administrations press ahead towards renewable energy targets and low-carbon economies, there is a need for better support tools to help policymakers put the appropriate policies and
