Associate Professor Lucy Burkitt BAgrSc, PhD

Associate Professor

School of Agriculture and Environment

I have spent 20 years researching soil and nutrient management issues in agriculture, with a specific focus on water quality and phosphorus loss from intensive and hill country pasture systems and nutrient loss and attenuation/mitigation in hill country landscapes. I also co-ordinate the Intermediate and Advanced Freshwater Farm Planning professional development courses and teach in to both the Intermediate and Advanced Sustainable Nutrient Management courses at Ƶ.
