My work focuses on animal-free sustainable agriculture, mostly in the Global North. I have a sustained interest in veganic farming. In recent years I have collaborated with academic researchers and veganic growers on several projects, including: the values, experiences and practices of veganic farmers; agronomic performance of veganic production; comparison of veganic and agroecological principles; and policy aspects of animal-free sustainable agriculture. Currently my focus is on possibilities for justice for non-human animals in agrifood transitions, in collaboration with Richard J. White.

I welcome contact from other researchers interested in collaboration on topics related to animal-free agriculture, including graduate students. I have served as an external advisor on Master's and Ph.D. projects in the US and Portugal and appreciate the opportunity to mentor students.

In the past, my research has explored urban sustainability planning and green infrastructure, with particular attention to alleyway revitalization and greenspace planning.
