I am interested in the factors influencing a sustainable agribusiness sector and their contribution to sustainable regional communities and economies. Specifically, I am interested in the governance of these businesses and the strategies that enable them to manage risk and build resilience. Particularly, the complexities arising from the direct experience of climate change (eg water resource scarcity), the policy challenges and the social, environmental and financial impacts on individual businesses, supply chains and communities. Examples are:

- Social, environmental and financial factors driving farm business failure

- Capability constraints of communities and agribusiness to effectively respond to drought and climate change

- Alternative policy approaches and instruments enabling sustainable agribusiness outcomes
