Jemma Morgan

Posted on July 8, 2021 by -

Jemma works with FCT as a Farm Carbon and Soils Project Assistant. She has always enjoyed making and eating good food, with concern for sustainability and nutrition. She has also always been concerned about climate change and our environment, locally and globally. Having passed on a community project rescuing food which would otherwise have been wasted, she decided to ‘up the game’.

A distance learning Masters in Agroforestry and Global Food Security through Bangor Uni followed and Jemma is now committed to engaging farmers in carbon saving technologies, including increasing useful trees and hedges in farming systems.

In her spare time she works with a small Tanzanian NGO, supported by a small UK charity, ‘Friends of Empowering the Future’, providing education and support to smallholder and subsistence farmers in rural Tanzania where climate change is not well understood, but the consequences are already being suffered badly. Increasing knowledge, soil health and tree planting is an urgent priority. Watch out for the opportunity to join its ‘Farm Twinning’ programme, supporting others across the world who are also working for resilient livelihoods.

Calum is a Data Assistant in the FCT Calculator team. Prior to this change of career, he applied his trade as a butcher for five years in Edinburgh before undertaking an MSc in Food Security at the University of Edinburgh and SRUC. Here, he found a passion for soil science and soil health. This led him to research a new biofertiliser involving crustacean shells as a potential new base material for a more sustainable phosphorus biofertiliser. With his deep interests in sustainability and data, Calum will be assisting the running and updating of the carbon calculator. He is particularly interested in the research and integration of new technologies to the calculator, helping improve the already great services FCT provide. Read ‘A day in the life of Calum Adams‘
