The James Hutton Institute (JHI) is Scotland’s internationally recognised centre of research excellence in agriculturally relevant crop plants and their interactions with the environment, encompassing both biotic and abiotic stresses. 
 
In Legume Futures, the JHI is responsible for leading Work Package 2 (Data management and novel system design) and is involved in all other WPs. 
 
The staff involved are: 
 
Pietro Iannetta 
Leader of work package 2.  Molecular ecologist, relationship of genetics to plant functional traits and environmental factors.
 
Geoff Squire              
Biologist, ecological impact assessment and up-scaling from plant to landscape.
 
Cathy Hawes             
Ecologist, management impacts on plant and invertebrate biodiversity and agro-ecosystem function.
 
Mark Young               
Information technologist, database applications, GIS and environmental sensing.
 
Graham Begg                       
Ecologist, functioning and sustainability of arable plant systems.
