The first area of research focuses on the goal of achieving a Carbon Neutral ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø. Results from a recently completed multidisciplinary project will be presented. Briefly, a technoeconomic assessment of carbon supply in South Australia’s agricultural zone will be presented.

In addition to estimating carbon supply potential, co-benefits associated with carbon sequestration activities were modelled and valued. The second research area focuses on Urban Agriculture in ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø. He presents from a recent assessment of ‘soil health’ in community and commercial gardens across the greater ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø region. He also answers the question of whether there is enough land in the greater city of ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø, potentially available to produce meaningful amounts of food.
