Farmers play far more than just a food-producing role—they shape landscapes, cultures, and communities. A new study in 'Agriculture and Human Values' explores how farmers see their future roles in balancing social, economic, and environmental goals. bit.ly/47LQlpT @bartoszbartk.com #farmsky

Last week I attended #EGU25 to share my research in a poster session. Link to the abstract: doi.org/10.5194/egus... It was a great experience to present my research, listen to fascinating talks, and meet familiar names in person #bere #betterbarley #biophysics #soil

First sampling event of my field experiment completed! It has been a very dry growing season so far which is concerning for farmers across the UK. I am intrigued to see how my Bere adapted to these conditions across the different soil types #betterbarley #biophysics #bere

This #InternationalWomensDay EGU also recognise the way that diversity in science includes many marginalised identities, which often intersect with & compound the barriers to science for women & people across the gender spectrum. Read more: www.egu.eu/7C8COX/

Last week I had to pleasure of attending and presenting my research at the Barley Away Days hosted by @hutton.ac.uk Using an accessible high-throughput system, Scottish landrace #bere had a larger zone of soil influence than an elite cultivar at early seedling stage #betterbarley #landrace #soil

Opening slide at a conference presentation.

The title reads: Bere barley: root soil interactions.

The graphic displayed shows a modern bred barley plant next to a historic landrace which has evolved in response to the local environmental conditions and management. There is a zoomed in section of both root systems which shows that the landrace has a larger zone of soil modification “Rhizosheath” than the modern barley.

Apparently, if you’re struggling with aspects of your research you’re on the right track. I find that reassuring #PhD

Happy world soil day! Just about… 🌱 This year’s theme is “Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage” which is about using soil data to make the right decisions. As someone who loves photography, I wanted to share a barley root system forming its own unique soil. Enjoy! #worldsoilday #soil #barley
