Biographical
Information
In coming to Prescott College, Tim brings his life-long interest in what he
considers to be one of humanity's most important interfaces with nature—agriculture.
As an undergraduate and graduate student, Tim focused his research interests
on understanding how particular groups of traditional Mexican farmers have
been able to sustain crop production using little or no purchased inputs.
True to the idea that farms have something to learn from the forest, Tim also
has conducted post-doctoral research in nutrient cycling dynamics in Hawaiian
rainforests 200 to 4 million years old. Since arriving at Prescott College
in 1995, Tim has overseen the development of Wolfberry
Farm, Prescott College’s
satellite campus for education, research, and demonstration of agroecology.
