I study nature markets and environmental governance, and how researchers can generate and share their knowledge so they can change the world. I am Professor of Rural Entrepreneurship and Director of the Natural Capital Challenge Centre at SRUC, Visiting Professor at University of Leeds and Birmingham City University, Founder and Senior Researcher at Fast Track Impact, Research Lead for the IUCN UK Peatland Programme where I sit on the Executive Board of the Peatland Code, Co-Chair of UNEP’s Global Peatland Initiative Research Working Group, and an Editor for Sustainability Science (Springer Nature, Impact Factor = 5.3).
