Graeme gained his PhD from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and has since worked in Scotland, France and Mexico. At UWA, he investigates how environmental factors influence reproduction in livestock, and incorporates that knowledge into 'clean, green and ethical' (CGE) management. He has published more than 370 journal papers, trained more than 40 PhD students, and communicates his work to the public and industry. He established the 'UWA Future Farm 2050' project which received an RSPCA award for demonstrating management without ‘mulesing’.
