PhD researcher at Bangor University with a background in agricultural economics, practical farm experience and applied research. My current research examines how responsible agri-technology and farmer decision-making shape pathways towards regenerative soil outcomes on Welsh family farms.

Research Working Title – From soil test to soil decision: responsible agri-technology, farmer decision-making and regenerative soil outcomes on Welsh family farms.

• Environmental Planning focus: soils, landscape, natural-resource governance, responsible innovation and farmer decision-making in Wales.

• Research problem: understanding how technology-generated soil information is interpreted and translated into farm-management decisions within Wales’s changing environmental-policy landscape.

• Proposed design: comparative qualitative case study across contrasting Welsh farming areas using semi-structured interviews, farm walks, soil-test elicitation, document analysis and cross-case thematic analysis.

• Academic contribution: linking responsible innovation, farmer decision-making and environmental planning to explain when AgriTech use supports pathways towards regenerative soil management.
