Martin Amidy

Martin Amidy is a Lecturer at the Fenner School of the Australian National University (ANU), specializing in farming systems research with a focus on bio-economic modelling and risk management in agricultural contexts. He has over 20 years of industry experience in the agricultural sector, with expertise spanning from producer engagement and adoption to research management, industry policy, and strategic planning.

His research interests center around sustainable agricultural practices, particularly examining the relationship between farming systems and soil carbon dynamics. Dr. Amidy's work bridges economic modeling with environmental science to develop practical solutions for agricultural producers facing climate variability and market challenges.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on soil carbon dynamics in agricultural systems, with particular attention to grazing management, soil fertility, and nutrient cycling. His research spans from fundamental soil science investigations to applied economic modeling of farming systems, demonstrating an interdisciplinary approach that connects environmental outcomes with farm profitability.

Dr. Amidy leads multiple research projects including 'Integrated systems-level studies on-farm and landscapes, innovation analysis and lifecycle assessments of low emissions strategies' (2025-2028), 'Trigger Points - Whole-farm economic modelling - StockPlan' (2024-2025), and 'Monitoring health and welfare using emerging diagnostic technologies in the beef feedlot sector' (2021-2022), indicating an active research program with both short-term applied and long-term strategic components.
