In my research, I explore opportunities to harness interactions between plants and their environments to design more sustainable farming systems. I am interested in the mechanisms underpinning plant interactions, how we might make better use of these interactions in agriculture, and also in the implications for farmers and society if we were to do so. For example, what are the consequences for food security, health, and livelihoods if agronomic inputs are replaced with more ecological farm management practices?
