Hannah is responsible for conducting and organising research, such as interviews and focus groups, with the farming community. The insights from this research are then shared with colleagues across the Future Farming and Countryside Programme.
Hannah's team works to make sure the reality of farming ‘on the ground’ is captured and understood. This is used to inform agricultural policy design and delivery.
