Rosamond Naylor is the William Wrigley Senior Fellow at FSI, the director of the Program on Food Security and the Environment, and an associate professor of economics, by courtesy.
Her research focuses on the environmental and equity dimensions of intensive food production. She has been involved in a number of field-level research projects throughout the world concerning issues of aquaculture production, high-input agricultural development, biotechnology, climate-induced yield variability, and food security.
At Stanford, she is on the faculty for the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Environment and Resources (IPER) and she teaches courses on the World Food Economy and Sustainable Agriculture. Naylor has served on the Oversight Committee for the McKnight Foundation's Collaborative Crop Research Program since 1997.
