Bachelors, Masters, and PhD from the University of Cambridge. 2023 Fulbright All Disciplines Scholar, Cornell University. c75 academic publications since 2014. Our work helps farmers and farming stakeholders (e.g. advisers, supply chain actors) with the challenges of 'Change'. This includes work on human behaviour change, technology adoption, and extension. We are also interested in understanding what 'just' and 'sustainable' agricultural and food transitions look like and particularly how to include human and non-human stakeholders in decision-making. Change, of course, can be stressful and we undertake research to help farmers, advisers, and other 'accidental counsellors', with their mental wellbeing.
