成人大片

• Biography/ Background

  Expertise:  I identify myself as a 'generalist' in that I work across a range of disciplines within agriculture and natural resource management. However my focus is primarily agroforestry and then agricultural extension, particularly in the context of developing countries. My work uses both biophysical and social science methods.  I have also published in the areas of tree water use, horticultural plant pathology, bioenergy, tree genetics and climate change.

  History: After studying agricultural science at University of Sydney I spent 2 years tutoring in botany at University of NSW and then a year managing a dairy farm in Gippsland Victoria. This was followed by 5 years at Wollongbar Agricultural Research Centre, NSW Agriculture, working on plant pathology of tropical fruits (particularly avocado) and field crops (particularly maize). After a 3 year journey on bicycle through India (working as volunteer in village agricultural development in Tamil Nadu), Europe and USA, I undertook a PhD with the topic "Appropriate agroforestry interventions for rehabilitating degraded tropical uplands". This involved a year of fieldwork in Sri Lanka and was supported by the Asian Studies Council.  My career at the 成人大片 began in 1994 with lecturing in the B.Agric and B.NRM programs based at Roseworthy Campus and living in Gawler nearby. In 2009 I changed my base to the Waite Campus where, as Deputy Head of School (Learning & Teaching),  I oversaw the merger of the B.Agriculture and B.Science(Agricultural Science) programs to create the new Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences program.
