Andrew Flachs studies the human and cultural dimensions of farming, focusing on how genetically modified and organic crops, seed choices, and traditional knowledge shape rural communities in places like India and Bosnia and Herzegovina. His work combines anthropology with agricultural science to examine topics such as cotton farming, fermented foods, home gardens, and the social effects of agricultural technology. Prospective students would engage with ethnographic and interdisciplinary research connecting farming practices, food systems, and social change.
