What we do

We study the interactions between food production, food security, and the environment using a range of modern tools. The work is motivated by questions such as:

• What investments are most effective at raising global crop yields, in order to increase food production without expansion of agricultural lands?
• Which innovations and interventions are currently working best?
• What direct or indirect effects will efforts to raise crop productivity have on other components of the Earth System, such as climate?
