Both my research and teaching interests are in agricultural ecology and sustainable agriculture. I like
on-farm research, either looking at case study farms as whole systems, ecologically (with particular interest
in soil ecology) and economically, or farmer-driven research; in either case the approach is participatory
where there is direct interaction between me as a researcher and farmers. I continue to have a special
interest in Amish agriculture and questions of how culture and world views of farmers influence what is
happening on the land ecologically.
