Hugh Brammer

22 oktober 1925 - 13 januari 2021

Hugh Brammer (M.A. Geography, Cambridge University, 1951) worked over 60 years as a soil scientist and agricultural advisor; becoming the foremost authority on the soils and agro-ecology of Bangladesh about which he wrote 11 books and numerous articles, as well as encouraging and supporting two generations of researchers and students. Hugh had a huge professional commitment to science as a geographer and soil scientist, and a fascination with every aspect of nature. He had a deep love of Bangladesh from investigating all its natural complexity and beauty and this became over more than 50 years virtually his second homeland. What a warm generous friend and helpful adviser he has been to us and many other researchers and students around the world. His advice to public policy makers and those working in NGOs was always considered, evidence based and truthful. He was honoured with gold medals for his work by the President of Bangladesh, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, and in the UK by the Royal Geographical Society, an OBE and an Honorary Fellowship of Downing College Cambridge. After a short illness, he sadly passed away on 13th January 2021. He will be much missed by his family and his friends across the world. On behalf of his family, Edward Clay, Steve Jones and Catharien Terwisscha van Scheltinga

Hug Brammer will be missed. He was in a class apart. He was a nice person, an independent advisor, rooted in reality on the ground in Bangladesh but also in top-notch science. His legacy will continue through his books and articles and through those who learned from him, by working in his shadow. .
