My PhD was published by Macmillan. It highlighted the narrowing of agriculture’s genetic base, and the environmental consequences of newer biotechnological innovations as they deepen the trend towards uniformity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/c6a86d16-84ac-4cab-80fe-051fbfd1f548/WENP3.jpg About - I set up Eunomia Research & Consulting in 2001. I wanted to do consulting in a principled way. Working on environmental issues, it’s clear that society generally finds, over time, that things are worse, not better, than we previously thought. It makes no sense to advise people to do things which, even if they can do them, they really shouldn’t. I’ve spent most of my working life seeking to change policy so that polluters pay, and those who ‘do the right thing’ are better off than those who don’t. Most - perhaps all - environmental issues are matters with strong roots in justice and morality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/1632653998619-YUB0C6805RFGX0K4A1EE/kayak.JPG About - I exited Eunomia in October 2020. I wanted to spend more time thinking more deeply about some key challenges facing us. I’m interested in designing policy mechanisms and strategies that drive positive change. It’s clear we need to think bigger than ever. So, I hope something on this website inspires, or encourages you to greater things. https://www.dominichogg.com/consulting daily 0.75 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/1a6d9bc4-3cff-40ae-ad41-bf39d64f058c/unsplash-image-zmNBVKgkW1c.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/9f18352e-31df-4940-82db-71ee17fdbe03/bats+from+amazon2.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/71cba52a-c74b-4e3f-8798-c76e2f0dfbac/Canada+frogv2.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/1642502548511-FKHA6W3LHV8CJHU9JZGK/IMG_0899.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/1642502759634-R3E4GQNLKKHFH2E2UGEI/IMG_0470.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/1643211279600-A7BSA09GFYK5EBY07C3K/IMG_0802.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/33049c4a-0721-4503-a0ab-89a9f6e4dca4/Edmonton+Incinerator+-+P1010794.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/7a134995-7fe7-409c-9f56-27fda2fcc4bf/Screenshot+Rethinking+the+Landfill+Target.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/c0b7bba4-ac25-4e6f-ae23-2c602c358c97/Mixed+waste+sort.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/c35975ec-8825-44b6-99e1-d148ed209cba/Upsala-big-pic-2048x1360.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/ffa3e226-679e-461c-b193-66362907a0af/Screenshot+Debunking-Efficient-Recovery.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/008cea5f-bbaf-46c4-a269-72e68fb07d55/MRBT+study.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/e64d7c12-e58b-41c7-9cfe-8949b0450a48/crystal+tear+down.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/cbe8f3a5-2d45-4564-9f56-10382dcafd0d/delhi+waste.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/1f4143c6-763e-4865-8369-8b10997680ad/Sachets+report+image.png Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/a41f6d1c-af64-41b6-ad0e-55ea60dd18ab/Temp+change+MRBT+v+incin.jpg Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/eae4c63f-b8e9-4485-a9d9-0bc3956f1e5d/Policy+Brief+on+Methane+Mitigation.png Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/61704f33-668b-44ae-9dde-1f24bbb785af/carbon+market+rewilding.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/318a9b8f-132f-4006-ae82-9efe7ea29108/Materials+or+gases+CCS.png Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/2f57e565-3995-4d14-8a29-7aedcd5bb319/Suez+incin.JPG Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/2ce5a819-878c-4673-a1ac-345aeff59f5c/DECC+landfill+levy.png Consulting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fac6c36040eba5dc1b46766/0591e3eb-a6ad-4497-97aa-3cea5deb31c0/NZ+codes.png Consulting https://www.dominichogg.com/plastics-treaty-annex-f daily 0.75 2024-04-20
