I research the interdisciplinary social science and applied policy fields of rural geography, rural sociology, environmental sociology, geography and planning. I have published over 150 international journal articles, book chapters or books. This includes 20 research monographs and edited collections. This body of work ranges from original theoretical work in the field, through to empirical analysis and emerging policy impacts and analysis. It includes wide ranging work on: the socio-economic restructuring of agriculture; theorisations and empirical investigations of rural development; analysis of agri-food chains and networks; and critical commentaries in the emerging fields of environmental sociology and environmental planning. The empirical work has extended from the UK, Europe, Brazil, the Caribbean and now China.

I have also been in receipt of a series of EU grants, totalling 500K; and research grants from policy making bodies, totalling 500K.

External Advisory Activities

A key aspect of my scholarly work involves critical engagement with aspects of environmental and rural policy-making and related research advisory boards and evaluation committees. This has involved influencing emerging policy developments at the EU, UK and devolved administrative levels (both Wales and Scotland). For example, I have recently contributed and completed policy and advisory reports for the EU, UK Govt Strategy Unit; UK Sustainable Development Commission, Scottish Executive, and the National Assembly of Wales and Welsh Government. I have held appointed advisory roles with the National Assembly Rural Affairs Committee, and Sustainability Committees and the House of Commons Welsh Affairs Committee. I have been cited in Who's Who from 2003.
