Nikki Dumbrell
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
Centre for Global Food and Resources
Faculty of the Professions
I am interested in research at the nexus of environmental, agricultural and economic systems. Further, I seek to engage in research projects that can inform policy decisions and improve livelihoods.
My PhD (commenced mid-2018) is exploring issues related to the social licence to operate through a series of case studies in Australia.
For much of 2017-2018 I worked on projects to improve the profitability and sustainability of vegetable industries in south east Asia (at The University of Adelaide).
For much of 2013-2016 I worked on projects related to carbon farming adoption and the trade-offs between greenhouse gas mitigation and other objectives for Australian grain growers (at The University of Western Australia).
