I am interested in the many challenges at the nexus of environment, consumption and agriculture. My current project aims to identify how European cattle systems can be altered to help farmers adapt and respond to climate challenges. With specific focus on how short term management decisions relate to longer term private and societal breeding goals.
My research interests regard:
In addition to this, I have developed an interest in policy and actions to shift behaviour in food supply chains. This not only spans farmer attitudes and motivations towards climate mitigation activities, but also consumer behaviour and associated demand.
I currently provide study support for undergraduate students with additional support needs.
