Profile
Ricardo is originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti where he completed his B.Sc. in crop science at the State University of Haiti. After a decade promoting practices in conservation and urban agriculture with the UN-Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Ricardo realized that a novel approach to agriculture is needed to address the challenges that farmers of his country are facing. Hence, he got his passion for sustainable agriculture and ecological whole-farm systems with a network approach. In Fall 2016, he received a LASPAU Fulbright scholarship to work with Dr. Sruthi Narayanan and study the contribution of cover crops to improve the sustainability and profitability of agronomic production systems.
Ricardo wants to build a research career on climate-resilient and sustainable agricultural practices to fight hunger, malnutrition, and poverty.
Research Interests
I'm interested in soil health, cover cropping, Soil-plant-water relationships
