About me

I am an academic that has been studying the behaviour and welfare of farmed animals, the assessment of welfare and the attitudes and behaviours of farmers towards livestock. Increasingly, questions have arisen regarding how sustainable better welfare systems are and whether we can have both nature friendly farming, high welfare for our farm animals and lower environmental footprints. This is where my recent research is focused.
