As a Tata-Cornell Scholar and FLAS fellow studying Hindi, my PhD research will be focused on India. Specifically, I am interested in innovation diffusion and the adoption of conservation agriculture technologies among farmers in India’s Indo-Gangetic Plain. I am passionate about rebuilding degraded soils and improving soil health because I see healthier soils as the key to improving farmers’ livelihoods and guaranteeing food and nutrition security for future generations.
