A broad view of food, agriculture, and the environment through economics.
The Food and Environmental Policy Lab studies problems in food, agriculture, and the environment using the methods of microeconomics and econometrics.
It focuses on taking a broad view of these problems and exploring the links and causal relationships among them.
The lab places importance on accurately understanding what is happening on the ground in farming and rural communities, and on finding research themes from there.
