Expertise

Julia Valliant is a public health researcher focusing on learning from farmers and ranchers about how agricultural incentives can support them in building farm-level biodiversity and raising more nourishing food. Present projects address how farms and ranches continue, or transition, from one generation to the next; the food movement as a farmer-led health movement; grazing management for surface water point protection; and performance payments to reward grazers and farmers for ecological outcomes in agriculture.
