Jill Edmondson is a senior lecturer in the School of Biosciences at the University of Sheffield. Her interdisciplinary research focusses on understanding how we can design more sustainable and resilient urban ecosystems. Current areas of research include understanding the ability of urban soils to support urban greenspaces and exploring the potential for urban horticultural production to contribute to food security, biodiversity and health and wellbeing. Collaboration with urban stakeholders including local communities, NGOs and policy makers is a really important element of her research. She has recently been awarded a Natural Environment Research Council Knowledge Exchange Fellowship to understand how to sustainably manage the urban forest.
