Innovation-environment interactions

Innogen researchers have published a report that examines how innovations in fish farming can contribute to meet multiple government policies and objectives, including Net Zero, a circular economy, zero waste, marine and land biodiversity targets and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In a new publication, Joyce Tait and colleagues argue that a ‘networked bioeconomy’ model, guided by cascading principles and fast-tracked using innovative technologies, may be more powerful than one based on rigid closed-loop circularity, in delivering sustainable food production.

We speak with Dr Katie Adam, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on interdisciplinary animal health projects. She trained as a veterinary surgeon at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh and holds a master’s degree in Aquatic Medicine from the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science. Before joining Innogen, she worked in clinical veterinary practice and as a field epidemiologist, researching endemic animal diseases. 

As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, the Innogen Institute hosted a free public event to explore the many types of seaweed and its uses. A video produced by Ladislav Piljar captures some of the highlights.
