Feeding the World, While Sustaining the Planet: Addressing the Challenges to Global Food Security and Environmental Sustainability in the 21st Century

Jonathan Foley's work focuses on the behavior of complex global environmental systems and their interactions with human societies. In particular, his research group uses state-of-the-art computer models and satellite measurements to analyze changes in land use, ecosystems, climate and freshwater resources across regional and global scales. He and his students have contributed to our understanding of large-scale ecosystem processes, global patterns of land use, the behavior of the planet's water and carbon cycles, and the interactions between ecosystems and the atmosphere.
