Lokendra Singh Rathore

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Emory University

I research how human activities and environmental changes influence food and water systems. My research centers on agri-food system transitions, with an emphasis on developing sustainable, climate-resilient, and farmer-friendly pathways. At Emory, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr. Emily Burchfield’s FACES Research Group.
