As a 2009 Nuffield Scholarship recipient, Jennifer studied emissions trading and methods for calculating greenhouse gas emissions and storage on-farm. She visited Canada, the USA and China to investigate recording and compliance methods that farmers can use to measure their greenhouse gas emissions and farm management options to reduce emissions or improve carbon sequestration.
