Lauren Asprooth studies U.S. agriculture, focusing on how farmers in the Corn Belt and beyond make decisions about diversifying their crops (for example, adding small grains to corn and soybean rotations) and adopting conservation practices. This work also covers how farmers, including direct-market and organic grain producers, responded to challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and used online tools and farmer networks to adapt. The research combines farmer surveys and case studies to understand the social, economic, and knowledge-related barriers and opportunities involved in shifting toward more resilient farming systems.
Publications began appearing in 2021 and have continued at a steady pace of about 2 per year since then, with no output recorded before 2021.
