About David's Work
I am a second year PhD Student at the University of Cambridge. My research focuses on understanding and predicting the impacts of regenerative agriculture on soil carbon stocks, crop yields and farmer incomes at a global scale. To do this, we are using meta-analysis techniques to build global, spatially-explicit machine learning models to predict the effects of regenerative agricultural practices on soil carbon, crop yields and farmer incomes at a high resolution. This work will help enable farmer decision making and accelerate the transition to regenerative food systems. I previously studied for an undergraduate and masters degrees in biology at the University of Oxford, where my research focused on the effects of grazing on soil carbon persistence in grasslands.
