Research summary
AI-generated

Julia Valliant studies the social and economic dimensions of farming in the United States, with a focus on how farmland is passed from one generation of farmers to the next and how policies can help new farmers gain access to land. Her work also examines family farm operations, sustainable and organic agriculture, and specific farming practices such as high tunnels (protective structures used to extend growing seasons). Much of her research combines policy evaluation with qualitative studies of farm households and rural communities.
