Lecturer in Sustainable Agri-Food Systems, Bournemouth University

Lecturer in Sustainable Agri-Food Systems, Bournemouth University I am passionate about exploring the reciprocal relationship between organizations and local communities, analysing their mutual influence, and studying the sustainability implications. As a human factors specialist and a human geographer, I have worked on projects in agri-food and healthcare sectors, prioritizing a people-centred approach to service improvement. My research interest lies in enhancing the resilience of the global agri-food system to challenges like food poverty, forced labour, and carbon trading by adopting a systems approach. I aim to optimize systems, promote transparency, build community resilience, and evaluate technological innovations using a human factors lens. Through service improvement projects, I have generated reports contributing to sustainable transformations in the agri-food sector and charities I hold Fellowships with the Royal Society for Public Health, the Royal Geographical Society, and the Higher Education Academy.
