Nikki Dumbrell

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 research (commenced mid-2018) is concerned with links between the social licence to operate, economics and decision-making with particular focus applied to natural resource dependent industries.

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).
