Environmental Planning and Policy
We combine academic research, big data, forecasting models and information from a host of sources to inform practical environmental solutions and policy decisions across the public and private sector.
Using data science, risk modelling and environmental expertise to provide policy advice and solutions that help government and industry work sustainably to create more resilient societies, agriculture and ecosystems.
Our work in environmental planning and policy supports government departments, development institutions, local authorities, retailers, chemical companies, water companies, individual growers and farmers and many other organisations whose work has an impact on the environment.
Agricultural Environments
Our work involves monitoring and surveillance of biodiversity, pollinators, over time to assess the impacts of specific policies, schemes and practices. Using this evidence, we can provide advice on modifications to farming practices, Agri-environment policies and incentive schemes to ensure they optimise benefits and minimise detrimental effects on the environment.
For businesses, adopting climate and environmentally sound practices and policies can contribute to your corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. We can provide the evidence and advice you need to implement responsible practices and systems in your business.
