Sustainable Agriculture

DUPLICATE CONTENT FROM LAST YEAR

Advancing research on agriculture and energy policy. This year, in response to a groundbreaking gift to the Kleinman Center from alumnus Carl H. Goldmsith (W’88), the center established the Goldsmith Sustainable Agriculture Fund. The Kleinman Center drives significant advancements in the study of agriculture and supports the exploration of sustainable agriculture practices through the lens of energy policy.

Agriculture is at the forefront of global challenges. The need to redefine sustainable agriculture in the context of global energy transitions has never been more pressing. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, innovative approaches to agriculture are essential to ensure food security while reducing environmental impact.

Thabo Lenneiye, the inaugural managing director of the fund, is leading this effort—leveraging the Kleinman Center’s proven track record of delivering cross-campus, interdisciplinary programming while delving into complex research questions and policy issues.

“The challenges in agriculture and energy are deeply intertwined,” said Lenneiye. “Our goal is to develop a comprehensive research agenda that advances sustainable and regenerative agriculture while integrating with broader energy and climate discourse.”
