    Principal Postdoctoral Research Associate in the at ÎÞÂ붯»­.

    I work in the CEBA, a reviewing, training and co-ordinating centre for the collation and synthesis of agri-food evidence to support decision-making in policy, industry, practice and research.

    My research interests include:

    • Evidence synthesis methodology for environmental and agricultural decision making
    • Mitigating the environmental impacts of agriculture
    • Sustainable development in the agri-food sector
    • Dissemination and use of research evidence
