Research summary
AI-generated

Kurt B. Waldman studies how small-scale farmers, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, make decisions about their crops, climate risks, and sustainable practices. His work combines social science, decision science, and spatial mapping to understand what drives farmers to adopt conservation methods and how food reaches people in growing African cities. Much of the research focuses on countries such as Zambia, Ghana, and Kenya.
