I am currently working with multiple collaborators on topics related to food systems, specifically food safety, antimicrobial resistance, and “One Health”.
Past grants are below. While these grants have ended, my inquiry in these areas is ongoing.
- Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. “Methodologies to Assess Willingness to Pay for Food Safety in Low-Income Countries: A Literature Review and a Pilot Experimental Valuation Auction.” Human Subjects Approved by the College of Wooster IRB. (2022-23)
- Diversification strategy for small and medium-sized farms: Working with researchers from Ohio State, we have proposed “research to develop a decision-making framework for the transition from specialized commodity production systems to diversified crop and livestock production. Diversified production systems are likely to target differentiated local and regional markets where small and mid-sized farms compete more effectively, taking advantage of economies of scope. Our education component will integrate land grant and liberal arts college undergraduate students with research by graduate students and faculty, in both independent study and formal classroom teaching. The results will improve economic decision-making with respect to diversification on small and medium sized farms and contribute to their success and the health of rural communities.” For more background on the grant see the USDA Website. To keep up with our evolving research, follow our research group on Zotero. (2015-2020)
- Catalyzing Food Entrepreneurship. Developing a Non-Profit Business Incubatorfor Small Scale Food Producers. InFACT Grant from the Ohio State University. (2020)
- Challenging Borders: A Research and Learning Community on Mobility and Movement. We are seeking collaborators across GLCA/GLAA Institutions to build this community and platform. Join us! (2016-2018)
