Thomas W. Hertel studies how global agricultural trade, economic policy, and climate change interact, using large-scale economic modeling to examine issues like food security, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. His work often connects agricultural productivity and trade policy to broader questions about environmental sustainability and human well-being, particularly in the context of developing countries. Note: a few unrelated medical publications appear in the record and do not seem to reflect his main research focus.
