Work with thought leaders and academic experts in Sustainable Agriculture

Companies can benefit from working with academic researchers in Sustainable Agriculture in several ways. Firstly, researchers can provide valuable insights and expertise in sustainable farming methods, helping companies improve their sustainability practices. They can also conduct research and analysis to identify innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture. Additionally, academic researchers can collaborate with companies to develop and implement sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming or precision agriculture. By partnering with academic researchers, companies can stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in sustainable agriculture and gain a competitive edge in the market.

Senior Associate Research Scientist / August, 2016Present

Washington State

Assistant Professor - Head of Food Science lab / 20122016

Research focus is on the role of nutrition in the prevention or progress of obesity-related chronic diseases. We investigate food bioactive compounds with the main goal of uncovering the molecular mechanisms by which diet derived compounds interact with the genome (effect on gene and protein expression and biomarkers) to shift the onset or outcome of disease. Research projects are centered around: - Milk and dairy-derived bioactive compounds - Plant food botanicals

Example Sustainable Agriculture projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on Sustainable Agriculture?

Developing Sustainable Crop Rotation Strategies

An academic researcher can collaborate with a company to develop sustainable crop rotation strategies that optimize soil health and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers. This project would help the company improve its sustainability practices and reduce environmental impact.

Implementing Precision Agriculture Techniques

By working with an academic researcher, a company can implement precision agriculture techniques, such as remote sensing and data analytics, to optimize resource allocation and minimize waste. This collaboration would result in improved efficiency and sustainability in farming operations.

Assessing the Environmental Impact of Agricultural Practices

An academic researcher can conduct a comprehensive assessment of a company's agricultural practices to identify their environmental impact. Based on the findings, the researcher can suggest sustainable alternatives and help the company reduce its carbon footprint.

Developing Sustainable Pest Management Strategies

Collaborating with an academic researcher, a company can develop sustainable pest management strategies that minimize the use of chemical pesticides and promote natural pest control methods. This project would contribute to the company's sustainability goals and protect the environment.

Exploring Alternative Farming Systems

Academic researchers can work with companies to explore and implement alternative farming systems, such as agroforestry or aquaponics. These systems offer sustainable and resource-efficient approaches to agriculture, providing companies with new opportunities for growth and innovation.
