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.
