The extent of abandoned farmland and its conservation potential
Academic Profile
I am interested in furthering our understanding of the environmental impact of agriculture, and in building policy and consumer interventions to mitigate this impact. I graduated with an MA and MPhil in Land Economy from the University of Cambridge, where I now run their annual Denman Lecture series. Following this I worked for 4 years at a leading strategy consultancy on projects addressing resource allocation, profitability, growth, and risk.
Current Research
I am using remote sensing to identify abandoned farmland and natural ecosystem regeneration. I will use this information to inform conservation action
