Todd Rosenstock is an Environmental Scientist with the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) where he investigates how smallholder agriculture affects the environment and society. In particular, Dr. Rosenstock’s research applies observational and manipulative experiments, data synthesis and modeling techniques to understand the synergies and tradeoffs among food production, soil health and climate at farm- and landscape scales and optimize local and global benefits from agricultural systems in developing countries. Methods development for monitoring social and environmental change and climate-smart agriculture are integral theme of his current work. Prior to his work at ICRAF, Dr. Rosenstock assessed the causes and consequences of modifying the nitrogen cycle in California, USA. He is particularly interested in integrative, multidisciplinary science that can be applied to emerging issues in coupled human-natural systems and thus is always keen to find ways to link science with public policy. Dr. Rosenstock currently works in diverse smallholder farming systems in East Africa and Latin America. Dr. Rosenstock is trained in Agroecology (PhD, University of California, Davis), International Agricultural Development (MS, University of California, Davis), and Horticulture (BS, University of Georgia, Athens).
