Professor in Plant Science
BSc (Hons), PhD Rdg U (UK)
I am a 'good old fashioned agronomist', moulded by time and circumstance, and currently apportioning my time between teaching, research supervision and administration.
Having worked in research and senior management positions with the CGIAR system in Mexico [CIMMYT], Peru [CIP] and Taiwan [AVRDC] Midmore has a holistic grasp of the issues facing the future of global agriculture and horticulture, and his opinions and input are sought widely, including by the CGIAR, DFID, USAID and the USDA where he has undertaken Programme and Consortium reviews.
Since 1995 he holds an appointment as Foundation Professor of Plant Science at CQUniversity in Australia where he researches agronomy and physiology of new crop species, urban agriculture, crop resource use efficiency, solid and liquid waste management and abatement of pollution, sensing technologies and innovations in irrigation amongst others.
Early 2010 saw him relocate to the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development at the University of Reading as a Visiting Professor, from where he remotely runs his Centre for Plant and Water Science in Australia, and teaches and engages with students and proposal development in the UK.
Associate Editor for Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology
Editorial Board for Experimental Agriculture,
Editorial Advisory Board for Crop Physiology Abstracts,
Regional Advisory Committee for Grains Research Foundation,
International Foundation for Science Advisor,
Tropical Agriculture Association,
Association of Applied Biologists,
British Ecological Society,
Society of Experimental Biologists,
Asian and Latin American Potato Associations,

His research has led to the adoption of new crops in Australia and to improved production practices in a number of tropical developing countries world-wide. Based on his research he has published more that 130 refereed journal articles, and over 200 published reports, magazine contributions and book chapters, and supervised more than 40 Masters and PhD students
