Climate change affects everyone, but the impacts are felt in different ways by different people all over the world. Countries with lower socioeconomic status are often hit harder, alongside countries and populations that rely more on their economy and environment for natural resources. Profession, as well as location, also ties into how individuals may be impacted. For example, farmers can be some of the hardest hit by changing global climates, as unpredictable weather and rainfall damage agricultural yields. Similarly, different demographics respond to the crisis in different ways. For
SEFARI Gateway is delighted to provide support for a new Knowledge Exchange and Impact Fellowship with the Scottish Government Rural and Environment Science Analytical Services (RESAS) on the development of Airborne Imaging and Lidar of Scotland’s Assets (AILSA). The main purpose of the Fellowship is to support the development of a business case and associated exploitation plan for Scottish Government funds to be used for the repeated collection and delivery of high-resolution three-dimensional laser scanning (Lidar) and optical imaging of Scotland’s land surface. Background A first national
SEFARI Gateway is delighted to provide support for a new Fellowship with the Scottish Government’s Rural and Environment Science Analytical Services (RESAS) seeking to develop estimates of the nutritional density of agricultural products produced in Scotland. The Fellowship The main aim of the Fellowship is to develop estimates of the nutritional density of agricultural products (such as milk, beef, spring barley and oil seed rape (OSR)). In so doing, this Fellowship will support the Scottish Government in: Developing improved evaluation of agricultural production in Scotland It is expected
Daniel is an applied mathematician who studies agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and explores mitigation measures using modelling. He aims to demonstrate both the environmental and economic benefit of adopting mitigation measures in agriculture to enable uptake by farmers and stakeholders. Daniel uses experimental results to parameterise and validate models which ensures model predictions are realistic. He believes models should not only address scientific questions, but also serve as tools to support the decision making of farmers and policy makers. He has an expertise in root-soil
