Research interests
Cathy is an ecologist and manager of the Hutton’s Centre for Sustainable Cropping, an open access, long-term experimental platform designed to optimise multiple ecosystem functions for more efficient, biodiversity-based production. The platform supports a wide range of associated agroecological and inter-disciplinary research projects, bringing together academic and industry partners to iteratively develop an integrated, regenerative cropping system and quantify long-term impacts through outcomes-based monitoring of biodiversity and sustainability indicators. Knowledge exchange and co-innovation with growers is a key element of this work and Cathy works closely with industry and policy organisations to ensure integration between science and practice to help acheive sustainable and resilient crop systems.
