Dr. Niamh McHugh is head of Farmland Ecology Research at the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust. Much of Niamh’s research focuses on landscape-scale farmer collaboration, and the potential benefits this may have on farming systems (e.g. regenerative agriculture), farmland birds (e.g. Barn Owls) and wider ecosystem health (e.g. biodiversity). As part of the Horizon 2020 funded project FRAMEwork, Niamh has helped to establish 11 pilot Farmer Clusters across Europe, and oversees the projects biodiversity management activities including monitoring and evaluation of Farmer Clusters. Through this project, she aims to identify ways that farmers can monitor their own biodiversity in a meaningful, representative way.
