Research Areas

  • Human-Environment Interactions
  • Sustainable Agriculture for Smallholder Farming Systems and Agricultural Extension Services
  • Land Cover and Land Use Change
  • Sub-Sahara Africa

My research focuses on human-environment interactions using an interdisciplinary lens of geography and agroecology at multiple geographic scales for African smallholder farming systems. I examine spatial-temporal patterns of sustainable intensification of agriculture and link these to land use, climate, and social-economic drivers.
