Production Economics, policy analysis, specification and modeling issues in the analysis of agricultural supply relationships and productivity analysis. Economic analysis of environmental and commodity policy changes on agricultural production systems. Decision making under uncertainty.
Dr Phil Ward: measuring plant water use (Resume)
Dr Ward has research experience in water repellent soils, measurement of soil water content, and micrometeorology for the measurement of water and carbon fluxes into the atmosphere.
Ms Susie Sprague: caring for canola (Profile - Person)
Ms Sprague is studying at the University of Melbourne while working at CSIRO Plant Industry in Canberra. Her research is studying Blackleg Leptosphaeria maculans, a disease that affects canola crops in Australia.
