Dr. Sophie Wynne-Jones
School of Natural Sciences, Bangor University
Sophie is a human geographer working on rural landscape change and governance. This includes research on:
1) Farming and agricultural policy developments: farmer decision-making, learning and practise; adoption of environmental management; co-operative behaviours; agri- environmental governance changes; novel forms of governance and partnership.
