- Research Impact Fellow in the Global Systems Institute, University of Exeter
As a Research Impact Fellow in the Global Systems Institute, Tom helps to develop action orientated research with partners in industry, policy, third sector and communities. With a background in ecology, food systems, land use change, regenerative agriculture and land-surface modelling, he specialises in trying to understand how managed land and the food system might be adapted to form more sustainable long-term relationships with the Earth system, while building resilient and secure livelihoods and supply chains. Recently he has been involved in developing a framework for understanding how we might trigger positive tipping points in food and land use systems to help achieve this goal.
