The Centre, with its team of systems-scale researchers, is based at Kirkton and Auchtertyre Farms, a 2,600 ha Highland estate near Crianlarich, west Perthshire in the west Highlands of Scotland.
The site is set within the newly established Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and ranges from high quality and productive grazing to high altitude (over 1,000 m.a.s.l) semi-natural habitats of high conservation value.
Our work aims to seek economically, environmentally and socially sustainable land management systems in the context of international, national and local land use policies, currently in the midst of massive changes through CAP reform.
