| Gemma is a graduate of Harper Adams’ Rural Enterprise and Land Management degree and began her career in practical land management for sporting estates in Perthshire and Angus.?? Following several years working in agricultural business consultancy, Gemma joined NFU Scotland in 2012, with responsibility for legal and technical policy until 2018.? Her current role as Head of Policy sees her have responsibility for policy on strategic supply chains and land reform and leading senior policy staff. Gemma has extensive experience of complex legislative development, advocacy and political influence on a wide range of agricultural and land use policy issues. I think you’ll agree, Gemma is well able to enlighten us on a variety of issues affecting farmers and food production in East Lothian.
