Dr Leonidas Rempelos Lecturer in Sustainable Agriculture
Leonidas' research focuses on strategies to reduce the environmental impact of food production while maintaining & improving productivity & nutritional quality. Working towards achieving the overall goal; the underlying aim is to: "Investigate and exploit complex interactions between crop genetics, food production systems & the environment to improve crop health, yield & yield stability, resource use efficiency, & food quality - safety parameters in both temperate & semi-arid environments" Overall Research Objectives: 1. The use of novel, underutilised and traditional crop species/genotypes to improve the genetic diversity of crop species 2. The exploration of genetic variation to identify traits for improved stress (biotic-abiotic) resistance, resource use efficiency and increased crop quality 3. The identification and improvement of trade-offs between, productivity, resource use efficiency quality and environmental impacts of cropping systems
