Dr Louise Hunt

Biography

My personal and professional driver is to care for Earth. Change of unsustainable behaviours is not optional, having occurred regardless of people being ready with more changes imminent. Beyond being responsible stewardship for all life on Earth, caring for Earth is a human rights issue given implications for food security via the essential ecosystem services food security depends on, such as fresh water and soil for agriculture. To this end I seek to conduct and support research for change, and education to inform future decision-makers.

Research

• Human behaviour and decision-making about managing the environment
• Production of fertiliser from wastewater, as an alternative soil amendment
• Calculation of a Climate Vulnerability Index for Australian States and Territories
