“However, these grazing systems face numerous challenges that threaten their economic and social viability.," she added. Morgan-Davies’s team will be involved in setting up a network of upland farmers and wider land users in the UK. The Hill & Mountain Research Centre will also act as an Upland Digital Hub, organising events for farmers, advisors, students and other upland land-users to see how those solutions can operate in practice. "We are excited to be involved in this project, which complements the increasing focus of research at the farms in recent years in highlighting that the use of digital technology will be essential in ensuring the continued viability of upland farming systems," Morgan-Davies added. The project will also involve SRUC’s Rural Policy Centre, working with wider rural communities in upland areas.
