Profile
My research area includes the sustainability of farm systems, assessed using a variety of methods including, carbon footprinting, lifecycle analysis, nutrient dynamics, economics and wider holistic methods. Working in multiple European and national projects to develop more sustainable farm systems that will help meet for example, the objectives of Net Zero, reduced nitrogen losses and more resilient systems.
Projects include:
