BioSS is one of the Scottish Environment, Food and Agriculture Research Institutes (SEFARI) which work together to deliver the Scottish Government’s Strategic Research Programme. This work helps inform Scotland’s policy making and practices in environment, agriculture and food. 

The latest SEFARI Gateway booklet highlights food research including Valeria Montano's work on the genetic variation of Scottish wild blueberries. This work explores the genetic diversity of 6 wild Scottish blueberry populations, and could help drive future commercial plantings of blueberries in Scotland.
