Institute donates three tonnes of tatties to charity

Hutton potato
“The climate, nature crisis and insecurities we see in food, water and energy are all interlinked. A key goal for us is delivering food security without damaging nature or forcing more climate change. This is a critical issue at a time when so many of our crops including the potato, are failing due to climate change, pest and disease. I am so pleased this yield will be turned into delicious and nourishing meals, reaching those who need it the most this Christmas"
Hutton potato

Following successful field trials, the James Hutton Institute based at Invergowrie, has donated three tonnes of locally grown potatoes to Cyrenians, Scotland’s charity for homelessness, for distribution to communities in need across the country.
