About
Naveen Adusumilli is an accomplished agricultural economist with a strong background in conservation policy-related research and extension work. He completed his PhD in Agricultural Economics from Texas A&M University in 2012, focusing on the economics of water resource management in agriculture. During his doctoral studies, he conducted extensive research on the impacts of climate change on agricultural production and the role of water markets in mitigating these impacts. After completing his PhD, Naveen joined Louisiana State University as an Extension Economist. In this role, he worked closely with farmers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to provide economic analysis and recommendations for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability. He also conducted outreach programs to educate farmers about the latest research findings and best practices in the field of agricultural economics. Naveen's research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, and he has presented at more than 100 farmer group meetings and national and international conferences. He has also received several awards and grants for his research contributions, including the Emerging Scholars Award in 2017 from the Southern Agricultural Economics Association and, in 2021, the Chair Leadership Award for his contributions to Soil and Water Conservation Society. from the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association. In addition to his work in academia, Naveen has also collaborated with various government agencies and international organizations on projects related to agricultural development and resource management. His expertise in agricultural economics has been sought after by organizations such as the Foundation for Agricultural Research, the National Institute for Water Resources, Foreign Agricultural Services, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and the World Bank. Naveen is a dedicated and passionate economist who is committed to finding solutions for the complex challenges facing the agricultural industry. Through his research and extension work, he continues to make valuable contributions to the field of agricultural economics and drive positive change in the world of farming.

About
Professor Ramirez is a native of Chile and a naturalized U.S. citizen since 1990. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984 and has been at Trinity College since 1985. He has held visiting positions at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana (Summer 1991 and 1992), Haverford College (Spring 1992), Vanderbilt University (Spring 1999), and Yale University (Spring 2006). His teaching interests are primarily in the areas of Latin American economic development and international finance and open economy macroeconomics. At the College he usually offers Latin American economic development and Structural Reform in Latin America during the fall term, while international finance and open economy macroeconomics is taught during the spring term. He also teaches a course in Time-Series Analysis every other spring term, with particular emphasis on unit root and cointegration analysis, error correction modeling, and forecasting. Insofar as his research is concerned, it is primarily dedicated to analyzing the challenges and opportunities that Latin American nations face as they attempt to stabilize and reform their economies in an increasingly globalized world. In particular, his work has reviewed and analyzed the impact of IMF-sponsored adjustment and stabilization measures in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, as well as the mixed success of structural reform programs such as privatization of state-owned firms, deregulation of economic activity, and liberalization of trade and finance. His research has also focused on the economic and institutional determinants of foreign direct investment in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, as well as the impact of these flows on private capital formation and labor productivity growth in Latin America. Another important focus of his work in recent years has been the growing role of remittance flows in financing private investment spending and boosting economic growth in countries such as Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Jamaica, and Mexico. Finally, he has published work in the history of economic thought relating to Marx's important analysis of wages and cyclical crises, his theory of absolute and differential ground rent, his analysis of the falling rate of profit, Marx's controversial writings on the so-called Asiatic mode of production, and his conception of capital as a social process.

Example forestry projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on forestry?

Sustainable Timber Sourcing

A Forestry researcher can assist companies in developing sustainable timber sourcing strategies. By analyzing forest ecosystems, conducting biodiversity assessments, and implementing responsible harvesting practices, companies can ensure a long-term supply of timber while minimizing environmental impact.

Forest Carbon Sequestration

Collaborating with a Forestry researcher can help companies understand and implement forest carbon sequestration techniques. By measuring carbon stocks, identifying suitable tree species, and implementing reforestation programs, companies can offset their carbon emissions and contribute to climate change mitigation.

Wildfire Risk Assessment

Forestry researchers can assist companies in assessing and mitigating wildfire risks. By analyzing fire-prone areas, developing fire management plans, and implementing preventive measures, companies can protect their assets, reduce the impact of wildfires, and ensure the safety of surrounding communities.

Urban Forestry Planning

Academic researchers in Forestry can help companies develop urban forestry plans. By analyzing urban ecosystems, identifying suitable tree species, and implementing green infrastructure projects, companies can enhance the aesthetic appeal of their surroundings, improve air quality, and create sustainable urban environments.

Forest Certification and Compliance

Collaborating with a Forestry researcher can assist companies in achieving forest certification and compliance. By conducting audits, implementing sustainable forest management practices, and ensuring adherence to regulatory standards, companies can demonstrate their commitment to responsible forestry practices and gain credibility in the market.
