His research interests span the stewardship of social–ecological systems, biodiversity management in production landscapes and protected areas, ecosystem restoration and sustainable agriculture.Dr Rhiannon Smith is a Senior Lecturer in Environmental Management in the School of Environmental and Rural Science at the University of New England. Her research focuses particularly on the measurement and management of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Australian agricultural sector.What others are saying about this book“Agricultural landscapes have the potential to bring people and nature together in ways that support human wellbeing and sustain valuable biodiversity. When we get it wrong, however, we create landscapes that harm biodiversity and satisfy only the narrowest of human needs. There is a lot at stake in these landscapes and increasing environmental pressures globally increase the risks. This edited volume brings together an outstanding selection of experts to help us to understand how it is possible to get better outcomes for nature and people, considering principles practice and policy.” (Professor Saul Cunningham, Fenner School of Environment and Society – Australian National University, Australia)
