2025 Nuffield Farming Scholar looking at Multifunctional Landscapes. Independent Rural Estate Manager and Environmental professional. MProf C.WEM
I'm so grateful to Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust and my sponsors Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association for giving me this opportunity. My topic is "Balancing the Books. Does Multifunctional productivity represent optimal land use?" The The Royal Society suggest that land is “…highly productive when production is interpreted to include all potential market and non-market outputs". So, I'll be travelling and exploring to try to answer the following questions... ❓️ 🗺 What is multifunctional land use in practice and how does it work? ❓️ 🌻 What wider benefits does multifunctionality generate? ❓️ 📏 How can you measure and value multifunctional productivity? ❓️ 📚 What implications would redefining productivity have for UK agriculture? So this is very much a call out to my network... 👥 Who would be good to talk to? 📍 Where are good examples of multifunctionality? 📈 What systems are there that help encourage, deliver and report multifunctionality? 🚀 Are there other industries with experience that the rural sector could learn from? I have some leads and plans already, but still very much open to more/different/new opportunities. Hit me up with suggestions, no one, and no where, is off limits! 👂
📣Our next 2025 #NuffieldFarming Scholar is Archie Ruggles-Brise. ⚖️Essex farmer Archie will study 'Balancing the books. Does multifunctional productivity represent optimal land use?'. Generously supported by the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association.
