@turnersophiegrn @DefraSoils Hi Sophie, thank you! All the research is still in early infancy so things could change a lot as we do more trials but I think the key things are reducing causeway area, minimising topsoil removal, harvesting only what is needed (process on site?) + leave belowground biomass

@JensLeifeld @DefraSoils It would be great to although there isn't scope for it in this role and I'm prioritising PhD writing outside of work. I'd like to make the data/code and report as useful and accessible as possible so it's all available on github
