Personal profile
Research interests
My research interests focus on the synthesis and analysis of data and information from cropping and livestock systems. Key interests include:
- how agricultural systems impact on the environment and how an understanding of these issues can inform economic and social models of the farming system
- the role of legumes on the sustainability of cropping systems
- rotation management on the sustainability of the system
- nutrient flows/budgets in agricultural systems
- impact of climate on agricultural systems
I have extensive experience of EU funded research programmes and other multi-partner projects and data management within these projects.
