Program Lead: Professor Louisa Coglan
Effective and appropriate use of agricultural and natural resource is the foundation for a healthy economy and society. Our program employs interdisciplinary research methods to protect our environment, natural resources and agricultural sectors for future generations.
- How do we develop green business models that facilitate behavioural adoption by agricultural producers?
- How do international and domestic regulatory environments drive sustainable behaviour change?
- What are the barriers and motivators for consumers to adopt ‘socially-unacceptable’ eco-friendly food products?
- How can economic and social benefit for all users be maximised through shared natural resources?
These are some of the research questions being investigated by the BEST Research Group.
Research highlights
- Information for better decision-making in fisheries and aquaculture
- Behaviours that protect Australian food industries
- Consumer decision-making and preferences for sustainable food
