My research interests are focused on how the environmental and socioeconomic outcomes of farming decisions can be quantified, compared, and improved in the context of sustainability transitions. Key interests include:

• Silvopastoral agroforestry systems and the drivers of their adoption in tropical and temperate contexts
• Voluntary carbon market mechanisms for leveraging widespread adoption of agroforestry and other regenerative agricultural techniques
• Soil organic carbon dynamics and their treatment in farm-level carbon models
• Methodological comparison of farm-level GHG calculators
• Agricultural carbon accounting and emissions quantification across UK farming systems
• Carbon credit integrity, additionality, and permanence risks in soil-based carbon projects
