I work in the area of agricultural and environmental economics. I apply econometric and statistical models to understand real-world issues such as the environmental and economic impact of increased agricultural production. My research areas include investigations of non-market valuation, consumer willingness to pay for high-value-added food products, farmers' decision-making on good environmental management practices and economic evaluation of agricultural projects and research. The results are relevant to a range of stakeholders, including consumers, producers and the government. I have had a demonstrated history of working in the research industry with both domestic and international researchers from universities, research institutes, and private industries, on a variety of multi-discipline research projects.
