Rosamond Naylor is director of the Program on Food Security and the Environment, professor of Environmental Earth Systems Science, William Wrigley Senior Fellow at FSI and the Woods Institute, associate professor of economics by courtesy, and affiliated faculty at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL).
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. She currently serves as a member on a number of advisory councils, including at the Pew Fellowships Program in Marine Science, the Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea (COMPASS), and the Bill Lane Center for the American West. She previously served on the Oversight Committee for the McKnight Foundation's Collaborative Crop Research Program, from 1997 to 2007. Naylor was named Fellow in the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program in Environmental Sciences in 1999 and Pew Fellow in Conservation and the Environment in 1994.
She received her BA in Economics and Environmental Studies from the University of Colorado, her MS in Economics from the London School of Economics, and her PhD in applied economics from Stanford University.
