Areas of interest include:

Diversity in cropping systems
Rotational effects on cropping systems, both organic and non-organic.
Environmental impacts of crops, their varieties and their role in rotations within agricultural ecosystems.
Crop / soil nutrient dynamics within cropping / farming systems (particularly N, P, trace elements and organic matter).
Improving the optimization / integration of leguminous species / varieties into cropping systems with an emphasis on intercropping.
Home grown protein cropping options
Cover crops & green manures
