Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Lawton Lanier Nalley's research program focuses on economic and social impacts within agricultural systems, with a particular emphasis on crop production and food security. His work investigates the economic and ecosystem consequences of genetically modified (GM) crops, such as GM maize in South Africa, examining yield differences for human consumption versus livestock feed. Nalley also studies the implications of rice quality for food security and sustainability in regions like Bangladesh, and analyzes consumer demand for broken rice in Colombia.
His research extends to consumer behavior and valuation, including studies on consumer willingness to pay for chocolate produced without child labor in cocoa production. Additionally, Nalley explores advancements in agricultural technology, such as the application of remote sensing for conservation agriculture and cover crop identification. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 29 and over 3,700 citations across more than 180 publications, reflecting his significant contributions to the field. He leads a research group and collaborates extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
