Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Lawton Lanier Nalley, Department Head of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, leads research focused on economic and ecological impacts of agricultural practices. His work includes studies on genetically modified (GM) maize in South Africa, examining yield gains for human consumption versus livestock feed, and the economic and ecosystem consequences of GM maize adoption. Nalley also investigates the impacts of rice quality on food security and sustainability in Bangladesh, and the implications of broken rice demand for food security in Colombia. His research extends to consumer attitudes towards emerging food technologies, such as cultured meat, and the valuation of ethically produced goods, including child-labor-free chocolate.
Nalley's research group also explores advancements in agricultural technology, such as the application of remote sensing in conservation agriculture and the development of methodological frameworks for identifying winter-time cover crops using remote sensing data. His scholarly contributions are reflected in a highly cited researcher designation, with an h-index of 29 and over 4,000 citations across 188 publications. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including Alvaro Durand‐Morat and Aaron M. Shew.
