Agricultural and Resource Economics Research Focus<\/h2>\n

We conduct research that addresses important food systems, natural resource conservation, rural development, and education issues.\u00a0 Our faculty members have garnered millions of research dollars in grant support from national, state, and local funders, won numerous research awards, and serve on the editorial boards for several top academic journals.\u00a0 Undergraduate and graduate students can work closely with faculty members on a variety of research projects to gain valuable hands-on experience which often results in publication co-authorship. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Commitment<\/span><\/h2>\n

We are committed to sharing our findings with a wide audience through publication in academic journals, presentations at conferences, and outreach to industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. Our work has informed priorities set by county commissioners for agricultural-related programs, influenced Colorado laws on conservation easements, and been at the center of national legislation discussions for cattle pricing.\u00a0 Our findings have impacted the use of water, land, labor, energy, and other inputs for numerous stakeholders.\u00a0 Food product and retail outlet labels have been designed based on our recommendations to increase profits and the consumption of healthy goods.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seminar Series\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Thursdays from 3:30 \u2013 5 p.m.<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Learn about the latest research from our faculty, students, and visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Agricultural and Food Systems Economics<\/h2>\n

Our faculty approach food system economics from several lenses to further understand challenges in production, supply chain, marketing, products and services. We combine economic theoretical principles with analytical tools to observe and, perhaps enhance today’s dynamic marketplace. Our faculty are actively engaged with\u00a0local producer groups and retailers, providing analyses that aid them to competitively market their products and services to a more demanding customer.<\/p>\n

Environmental and Natural Resource Economics<\/h2>\n

Our environmental and natural resource economics research applies economic tools to evaluate the allocation and utilization of natural resources and the management of different environments. Our analysis provides a strong basis to guide societal choices that directly and indirectly affect our environment and allows us to predict the likely effects of government policies and regulations, to devise solutions to pressing natural resource and environmental problems.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
