Summary
This 2019 AHDB commentary presents Scottish farm-level case studies illustrating innovations in sustainable intensification. Rather than primary empirical research, the work is descriptive and policy-orientated, positioning Scotland as a model jurisdiction for more environmentally responsible farming practice. The contribution is framed to inform practice adoption and policy development across the wider United Kingdom context.
Regional applicability
The study is based on Scottish examples and directly applies to United Kingdom policy and practice development. The case studies are intended to serve as models for adoption across the wider UK farming sector, though transferability to different soil types, climates and farm structures in other UK regions would require contextual assessment.
