Linda S. Prokopy studies how farmers, landowners, and agricultural advisors make decisions about adopting conservation practices, such as cover crops and nutrient management, and how climate information and decision-support tools can be designed to better support these choices. Her work combines social science methods like surveys, meta-analysis, and randomized trials to understand barriers to conservation adoption, land tenure issues (e.g., rented farmland), and communication of climate change risks to agricultural stakeholders. This research is relevant to students interested in the human dimensions of agriculture, environmental policy, and science communication.
Publication output rose to a peak around 2020 (22 publications) but has declined and leveled off at a lower, steadier rate in more recent years (roughly 3-8 per year from 2021-2025).
