Research Focus: Morgan’s work centers on enhancing food systems resilience, particularly through monitoring ecosystem services in grassland livestock systems and promoting adaptive grazing practices. They investigate how farmer well-being intersects with management decisions, aiming to improve soil health and ecological function via adaptive multi-paddock grazing. Their studies also address policy dynamics, such as USDA’s reliance on non-profit intermediaries for organic food oversight.
Recent Work Trends: Publications from 2022 highlight collaboration on resilience frameworks and Canadian beef producers’ adoption of sustainable practices. Morgan’s research bridges ecological and social dimensions of agriculture, emphasizing practical feedback tools for producers.
Grants & Projects:
- 3M Project (multi-institutional): Investigates metrics, monitoring, and management in grass-based beef systems.
- Current work includes ecosystem service monitoring and teaching adaptive grazing techniques.
Labs/Teams: Works within the Department of Community Sustainability and the Center for Regenerative Agriculture at MSU, contributing to interdisciplinary initiatives like the 3M Project.
