Profile
Damian is a rural geographer with research interests in agricultural restructuring, food supply chains and rural development. He is particularly interested in the growth of alternative and local food networks, CAP reform, farm tenancy, farm diversification, and plant disease management and biopolitics. He also has an on-going research interest in the geography of micro-brewing and the real ale economy. Damian shares the role of Subject Group Leader for the Farming and Food research cluster with Chris Short.
Damian is currently involved in three major research projects; Growing risk? The potential impact of plant disease on land use and the UK rural economy, · RuDI - Assessing the impacts of Rural Development policies (incl. LEADER) and Analysis of socio-economic aspects of local and national organic farming markets.
