Leah Bevis

Leah Bevis studies the links between agriculture, soil quality, nutrition, and human health, particularly how soil mineral content (like zinc) affects crop nutrients and child health outcomes in countries such as Nepal, Uganda, Malawi, and India. Her work also examines how seasonality, flooding, and survey timing influence measurements of child diet and health, and touches on farm productivity and measurement error in agricultural economics research. This research combines methods from economics, nutrition science, and public health to understand food security and wellbeing in low- and middle-income countries.

Publication output rose from 2017 to a peak around 2019-2021, then declined somewhat and has remained steady at 2-3 papers per year in recent years.
