I am interested in learning about agroecosystems through a transdisciplinary lens that investigates both soil processes at the micro-scale and human environmental landscape dynamics at the macro-scale. My research focuses on understanding local ecological knowledge of soil within diversified farms in Yolo County, CA. Using ethnographical and analytical approaches, I seek to understand how on-farm diversity and diversified managment practices are linked to soil health in this region.
