Biography

I am a scientist and educator working across ecology and agriculture, contributing science and solutions to global challenges in a participatory manner with farmers, regulators and industry: 

1/ the circular nutrient economy: converting wastes to next-generation fertilisers for healthy environments, crops and food.

2/ regenerative agriculture based on ecological principles for ecosystem services, avoiding pollution and producing high quality food.

3/ diverse and climate-adapted crops drawn from the vast range of native Australian plants, produced by Traditional Owners

4/ re-carbonising soils - managing carbon and nutrients stocks with vegetation and soil amendments to combat the rise in greenhouse gases 


Susanne identifies as culturally and linguistically diverse.
