Soil and Water Policy
Production Economics
To establish an outreach program through workshops, training, and publications, among others, to inform farmers and policy makers on cost-efficient solutions on conservation of natural resources, nutrient management strategies, and analysis of agricultural policy.
One: I have an ongoing line of research on the topic of the economic evaluation of best management practices to improve crop production, soil health, water quality, and irrigation efficiency.
Two: I have a broad interest in the use of risk analysis, evaluate conservation adoption behavior, and analyze policy surrounding conservation of soil health and water resources in agriculture.
