    🎓 Meet the Team: Dr David Cutress As a Lecturer and Connect Project Manager at IBERS, David helps bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world farming. One day he’s writing about sustainable agricultural policy, the next he’s reviewing projects to reduce worm burdens in sheep. He also develops livestock and soil teaching materials and Master’s courses for BioInnovation Wales. What does he enjoy most? “The variety, the real-world impact, and collaborating with experts across the sector.” Outside of work, David’s creativity shines through his love of art and music, particularly sketching portraits and singing. #MeetTheTeam #IBERS #FarmingConnect #ResearchToReality #SustainableAgriculture -- 🎓 Cwrdd â'r Tîm: Dr David Cutress Ac yntau’n Ddarlithydd ac yn Rheolwr Prosiect Cyswllt yn IBERS, mae David yn helpu i bontio rhwng ymchwil arloesol a ffermio yn y byd go iawn. Un diwrnod fe all fod yn ysgrifennu am bolisi cynaliadwy ym myd amaeth, a’r nesaf mae'n edrych ar brosiectau i leihau llyngyr mewn defaid. Mae hefyd yn datblygu deunyddiau dysgu am dda byw a phriddoedd, yn ogystal â chyrsiau Meistr ar gyfer BioArloesi Cymru. Beth mae'n ei fwynhau fwyaf? 💬 "Yr amrywiaeth, yr effaith ar y byd go iawn, a chydweithio ag arbenigwyr ym mhob rhan o’r sector." Y tu allan i'r gwaith, mae creadigrwydd David yn dod i’r amlwg yn ei gariad tuag at gelf a cherddoriaeth - yn enwedig braslunio portreadau a chanu. #CwrddÂ’rTeam #IBERS #CyswlltFfermio#GwiredduYmchwil #AmaethGynaliadwy
