Great new piece from Waverly Eichhorst on the latest work in lab-grown meat: bit.ly/3kE6Z4L

Lab-grown meat can be truly transformational for food systems. But, it's still new: little is known about its social and economic dimensions. Fascinating area to do impactful research.🔥🔥🔥 Congrats to Waverly Eichhorst for a great piece. thebreakthrough.org/blog/whats-new…

“While it’s possible to decouple growth from env. harm, that’s not automatic. To combine rising living standards with an improving environment, we need policies that encourage the use of technologies that cause less environmental damage.” Paul Krugman: nytimes.com/2023/02/17/opi…

Excited to share my newest article published in AEPP with my coauthors Jayson Lusk and Sofia Villas-Boas! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae… In this study we propose the idea of a Sustainability Facts Label and its effects on organic purchases.

As the climate changes, so too much our agricultural practices and technologies. Check out the lecture this Thursday, 4:30-6pm, by Dr. Pamela Ronald on how to breed crops for more resilience

I recently asked an undergrad in our department what topics she would like to learn more about. She responded: "the Colorado River water use impacts of agriculture." Very glad that this important topic is starting to gain more media attention. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
