Senior Lecturer in Environment & Sustainability at the Royal Agricultural University. I work where climate science meets the farm gate — from macadamia orchards in Malawi to AI that spots weeds in UK fields.
Universities, NGOs and industry across three continents. Hover to pause.
Prospective PhD students, event organisers, research partners and organisations with a sustainability question — there's a door here for you.
I currently supervise two PhD candidates and welcome self-funded and scholarship applicants, including Commonwealth and international scholars.
Talks that pair hard evidence with stories from the field — delivered at conferences from BES Belfast to BIOFACH Nuremberg.
Evidence and assurance for ethical supply chains, drawing on work with FairWild Foundation, Neno Macadamia Trust and GIZ.
I co-design projects, build consortia and write competitive bids, with over £575,000 secured as PI and Co-I from funders including UKRI, the Rothschild Foundation, USDA and Feed the Future.
Practical, hands-on training for researchers, NGOs, companies and farmer organisations, in person or online — in English, Portuguese, Chichewa or Tumbuka.
Spatial analysis that turns satellite, drone and field data into maps and models you can act on, using ArcGIS Pro, QGIS and R.
Hello! Moni! Olá!
Groundnuts, maize and pigeon peas from my family's farm paid my university fees. That shaped everything since: twelve years across academia, NGOs and industry, always asking how research can make a real difference for the people who grow our food.
I'm a transdisciplinary researcher. I model climate suitability, train machine learning models on drone imagery, and work with artists and storytellers to bring indigenous knowledge and farmers' voices into science.
Beyond research, I've worked in warehousing and hospitality. That hands-on experience of logistics, operations and serving people keeps my supply chain work grounded in how things actually move.
