About
From the soil that feeds us, to the ideas that shape tomorrow, we are constantly unearthing new knowledge to tackle the world’s greatest challenges.
Hutton Unearthed: Discover what your support can grow.
In 2025, we’re launching Hutton Unearthed — a bold new fundraising campaign that digs deep into the challenges shaping our planet’s future.
From protecting soils, water and biodiversity, to advancing sustainable farming, driving innovation and responding to climate change, our science is unearthing solutions that help landscapes and communities across Scotland – and beyond – thrive.
By supporting Hutton Unearthed, you’ll help accelerate discoveries that make our world more resilient, sustainable and alive with possibility.
Whether you’re an individual, a business or a community organisation, your contribution helps unearth the breakthroughs our future depends on.
Join us – and be part of what we’re unearthing next.
Unearthing solutions needs sustained support.
We’re seeking vital investment to keep Hutton at the forefront of tackling the global challenges facing land, water, food and energy.
Recent investment from the Scottish Government’s Just Transition Fund and the Tay Cities Deal has already helped us grow – creating transformative new facilities like the Crop Innovation Centre in Dundee and the Hutton Hub in Aberdeen. These hubs are shaping the future of sustainable farming, innovation and collaboration.
Now, we need to build on that momentum. Continued support will allow us to strengthen our research, expand our impact, and invest in the people and places driving change. Together, we can unlock new discoveries, nurture future talent, and unearth solutions that help our planet thrive.
Join us – and be part of what we’re unearthing next.
