My research is focused on a systems-based approach to addressing the challenges of producing tree fruit sustainably and profitably. My work crosses disciplinary fields and I often partner with colleagues in soil science, entomology, food science, plant pathology, agricultural economics, and agricultural education. I am based at the Alson H. Smith AREC in Winchester.
