Hugh Brammer obituary
Some people are lucky and remain passionately interested in their work throughout their lives. My friend, Hugh Brammer, who has died aged 95, a Covid-19 victim, was one. He was an internationally renowned geographer and soil scientist, who became the foremost authority on the agro-ecology of Bangladesh.
Hugh started his career in 1952 in the Colonial Service in Africa before joining the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). In 1962 he was posted to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) to lead the soil survey of the country with local colleagues. During the liberation war in 1971 he was evacuated, but returned to the newly independent Bangladesh as senior adviser to the minister of agriculture in 1974. He stayed until he retired from FAO in 1987.
