I am a Senior Research Officer in the Agriculture, Food and Drink Analysis Unit, a part of DG Net Zero in the Scottish Government. I lead on the design and management of social research that underpins the decisions being made on the future of agricultural support, working with stakeholders to co-design a tailored and supportive system that will help to meet Scotland’s climate and biodiversity goals. Prior to joining government, I undertook a PhD on the interplays of property rights and ownership in our oceans, and changing marine policy in Scotland.
My research interests include behaviour change and incentivisation, farming values and attitudes, rural policy making, and equalities and inclusion in farming.
