The James Hutton Institute is an international research centre based in Scotland that brought together the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute (MLURI) and The Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) on 1 April 2011. Combining these two organisations now means there are over 550 members of staff. Disciplinary expertise is exceptionally broad including soil, plant and animal sciences, geography, socio-economics and computational specialisms. This scientific depth is reinforced by an excellent research infrastructure and the availability of dedicated technical support specialists within research teams. The organisation is actively outward facing and innovation focused, engaging in both knowledge exchange with industry and cooperative research with government policy makers, natural heritage agencies, the water industry and the statutory environmental protection agencies. Hutton staff is able to contribute to all aspects of the proposal with particular skills in the conduct of integrative, interdisciplinary and policy–facing research relating to the nexus of water, biodiversity, land, food and climate.
