Profile
Julie joined CCRI in 2004. Her main research interests are concerned with the socio-economic aspects of agriculture in relation to policy, practice, management and the environment, with particular focus on farmer behaviour, attitudes and motivations. She is interested in knowledge exchange within the agricultural community and knowledge processes within the context of sustainable agriculture and natural resource protection, with particular reference to soil. Current research includes a European funded project looking at Agricultural Knowledge Systems in transition ‘Towards a more effective and efficient Support of Learning and Innovation Networks for Sustainable Agriculture’ (SOLINSA).
