Research

I study how diversified farming systems respond to water scarcity and climate pressure. My work connects field ecology, farmer knowledge, and applied research partnerships across California agriculture.

Themes

Agroecology and Water Resilience

I study dry farming, soil processes, and diversified management practices that can support crop productivity under limited irrigation.

Farmer-Centered Transition Research

I use interviews, participatory research, and applied collaborations to make agroecological transitions more legible to both growers and public-serving institutions.

Public Interest Evaluation

I contribute to evaluation work on California farm-to-school and sustainable agriculture programs, with attention to climate, equity, and environmental outcomes.

Current Collaborations
