Brett Robinson is an environmental chemist who specialises in the fluxes of nutrients and contaminants in soil – water- plant systems. His goal is to enable the production of healthy food in an environment that is consistent with the demands of consumers. This is achieved through transdisciplinary projects that increase the circularisation of the bioeconomy, including creating value from biological wastes, the rehabilitation of degraded soils, reducing the entry of contaminants such as cadmium into food products, and ensuring that the nutrients contained in biological wastes provide economic and ecological benefits instead of exacerbating the degradation of waterways. He has developed environmental tools and technologies in collaboration with Universities and Research Institutes throughout Europe, China, and New Zealand.
