Our research aims to improve the productivity potential and environmental outcomes of food production systems for future food security.
We work to develop nutrient management solutions for diverse agricultural systems from subsistence farming to high production farming. Our research investigates the pathways of nutrient loss, including greenhouse gases and other losses, the role of soil organic matter for nutrient delivery, and the importance of soil health for long-term nutrient supply. We take a multidisciplinary approach and work closely with industry in the development of smarter, more efficient fertilisers and alternative nutrient sources, which will have a significant impact on the profitability and sustainability of agriculture.
