My research program is focused on Sustainable Agriculture & Horticulture with an emphasis on diversified field crop and vegetable crop production systems. We work to understand:

• soil health measurement and management,
• nitrogen cycling and use efficiency, and
• greenhouse gas emission and mitigation.

Ultimately, our goal is to better understand the functioning of soil ecosystem services and develop strategies for moving towards regenerative and environmentally-friendly agronomic management.

Current courses that I teach or co-teach: 
PLSC 440/840, Climate-Smart Agriculture.
PLSC 451, Vegetable Agronomy.
PLSC 461, Post-harvest Management of Horticultural Crops.
PLSC 220, Intro to Horticulture.

My group is a part of the nation-wide HQP Training Program:NSERC CREATE Climate-Smart Soils https://smartsoils.ca
