Research Foci
Agricultural Sustainability
How can we achieve a better balance between food production and the health of global environmental systems?
Recent and current research:
Mapping global yield gaps and the relationships between yield gaps and management practices
Identifying spatially optimal patterns of nitrogen use to minimize nitrogen pollution
Mapping global water stress and its drivers, including climate variability and water for food and energy
Climate Impacts and Adaptation
How will agricultural systems be impacted be climate change, and how can farmers adapt to new conditions?
Recent and current research:
Identifying the extent to which regional climate trends are influenced by changes in land management practices
Tracking trends in extreme temperatures across global breadbaskets
Identifying the effectiveness of adaptation actions – from local changes in management to migration of crop areas
