Research Interests
Research seeks to underpin the development of more sustainable and resilient food supply chains with focus on animal sourced foods. Emphasis is focused on (1) driving productivity, (2) improving efficiency, (3) enhancing nutrient density and (4) reducing waste. Research is also advancing the development of metrics to describe sustainability (economic, environmental and social) of farm systems and is using large and multi data streams and machine learning approaches to support on-farm decision making and underpin sustainability credentials of supply chains. Annual research income has ranged between £400-600K from a diverse range of investors.
