No longer works at ORC

Academic qualifications:

  • BSc Environmental Science (University of Exeter)

Research interests:

During my undergraduate studies, I focused on evaluating the carbon sequestration potential and soil health within regenerative livestock systems. Additionally, I engaged in monitoring soil biological activity at farms across the Southwest. These experiences led me to participate in the Living Mulches project, which explored an alternative weeding solution and method of increasing nitrogen supply in organic systems. Currently, my research interests are varied and include assessing the performance of organic bean varieties as part of the Liveseeding project, facilitating knowledge exchange among agroforestry practitioners in the North of England Living Lab for ReForest, and conducting research on optimal composting methods and their application with Feed the Soil
