Research
My research spans a wide range of traditional and alternative crops and production practices. I am particularly interested in crop diversification in space and time. The overarching goal is to integrate economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability to create systems that protect rural livelihoods, food security, and human and environmental health.
