Projects

Future Agricultural Landscape Transition

This project investigates how climate change, land-use policies, management practices, conservation programs, and socio-economic dynamics will shape agricultural landscapes in the coming decades. By integrating geospatial data, remote sensing, and machine learning, it identifies likely shifts in cropping patterns and evaluates strategies to promote sustainable agriculture. The project addresses the following themes:

• Probable and desirable agricultural futures in the US
• Identifying vulnerable regions and farm-dependent communities
• Impacts of agricultural transitions on water resources
• Effects of transitioning agricultural landscapes on global biogeochemical cycles

Agricultural Sustainability and Supporting Infrastructure

This project examines how access to processing infrastructure and markets influences crop choices and resilience. Using data-driven modeling approaches, it identifies strategies to support sustainable farming systems and improve food security under changing climate conditions.
