Professor Andrew Campbell

Director, Research Institute for Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL)

 

Formerly the Managing Director of Triple Helix Consulting, a consultancy working at the interface between science and policy across climate, water, energy, food and biodiversity, Mr Campbell has been at the cutting edge of natural resource management in Australia for 25 years.

He has played influential roles in policy as a senior executive in the Australian Government, and in research management as the CEO of Land and Water Australia from 2000-2006. In that role, Mr Campbell was instrumental in the early establishment of the Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK) initiative. He was also a key player in the development of Landcare in Australia in the early 1990s, as Australia’s first National Landcare Facilitator and as one of the architects of the $340 million Decade of Landcare proposal announced by Prime Minister Hawke in 1989.

Mr Campbell chairs the Board of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, is a Visiting Fellow at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and a Director of the Future Farm Industries CRC. He also retains a long-distance involvement with his family farm near the Grampians in western Victoria, where his family has farmed since the 1860s.
