Penny has always sort opportunities to improve and extend her knowledge and networks, including undertaking study tours. Penny embraces opportunities to share knowledge with others, particularly the next generation of scientists that have similar interests in using their research skills to contribute to positive social outcomes. Additionally, Penny regularly receives requests to share her pulse crop research results and works closely with several organisations and partners to deliver high quality actionable research outcomes to industry. She is based at the Clare Research Centre in South Australia, where she leads a team of nine staff, supervises a PhD student, and mentors junior researchers. Penny is currently a Research Scientist, SARDI and Affiliate Associate Lecturer at The University of Adelaide.

For example, Penny’s PhD (completed 2011) explored opportunities for novel crop-pasture systems for mixed farms in the higher rainfall zone of southern Australia. Penny has broad agricultural science experience and has applied this in environments across Western and Southern Australia.

In line with this, Penny’s current research is focussed on supporting the development of the pulse grain sector in South Australia. Dr Penny Roberts has a passion for the application of agricultural science to address challenges such as adaptation to climate change and supplying a growing population with nutritious food.
