I am a landscape ecologist who works to across sectors to find solutions to tough problems at the intersection agriculture and our environment. We all need to eat, but we also need a livable climate, clean water, abundant wildlife, and places of wonder. Because nearly 40% of the Earth's land surface is devoted to agriculture, we all also need to support farmers and rural communities to meet these multiple goals. I try to do so through my roles as a professor of natural resource ecology and management and co-director of the Bioeconomy Institute at Iowa State University.
