Research Interests
My research Interests focus on the effect of food system sustainability on product and consumer health. Key interests include:
●role of essential dietary micronutrients and fatty acids in maintaining health/preventing disease
●sustainable aquaculture feeding systems and their benefits to human health
●Sustainable dairy farming systems and effects on milk nutrient quality/healthiness
●how seafood farming systems contribute to nutritional status, health, and socio-economic prosperity
●monitoring heavy metals in foods and the risks to consumer health
●assessing micronutrient levels and bioavailability
●role of genetic variability on micronutrient status and health/disease
