Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Agriculture
Ecology
Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Agronomy, Agriculture, Sustainability, Food security and Crop. His Agronomy research includes themes of Tropical Asia, Coffea, Microclimate and Hemileia vastatrix. His Agriculture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural resource economics and Climate change.

His Food security research incorporates elements of Agroforestry and Agricultural productivity. His Agricultural productivity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Food prices, Agricultural land, Agricultural economics and Arable land. Serge Savary focuses mostly in the field of Crop, narrowing it down to matters related to PEST analysis and, in some cases, Blight, Weed, Expert elicitation, Toxicology and Agroecosystem.

His most cited work include:

Crop losses due to diseases and their implications for global food production losses and food security (358 citations)
Crop losses due to diseases and their implications for global food production losses and food security (358 citations)
The global burden of pathogens and pests on major food crops. (326 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Serge Savary mainly investigates Agronomy, Agriculture, Crop, Food security and Ecology. Many of his studies on Agronomy apply to Pathosystem as well. His Agriculture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agroforestry, Natural resource economics, Climate change and Agricultural economics.

His Crop study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Plant morphology, Yield, Biotechnology, Crop yield and Disease. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agricultural productivity and Sustainability in addition to Food security. Serge Savary connects Agricultural productivity with Food processing in his research.

He most often published in these fields:

Agronomy (48.55%)
Agriculture (30.43%)
Crop (29.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Agriculture (30.43%)
Crop (29.71%)
Social policy (6.52%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Agriculture, Crop, Social policy, Food security and Yield. Serge Savary combines topics linked to Agricultural economics with his work on Agriculture. His Crop research is under the purview of Agronomy.

His Food security research includes themes of Agricultural productivity and Sustainability. In his work, Crop loss, Expert elicitation and Toxicology is strongly intertwined with Agroecosystem, which is a subfield of Agricultural productivity. His Yield research incorporates themes from Population size, Outbreak and Growing season.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The global burden of pathogens and pests on major food crops. (326 citations)
Mapping disruption and resilience mechanisms in food systems. (21 citations)
Multiple-Disease System in Coffee: From Crop Loss Assessment to Sustainable Management. (15 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

Agriculture
Ecology
Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Crop, Food security, Sustainability, PEST analysis and Agricultural productivity. The concepts of his Crop study are interwoven with issues in Yield, Ecosystem services and Plant breeding. His research on Food security concerns the broader Agriculture.

His study in Sustainability is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agroecosystem, Toxicology, Expert elicitation and Food systems. His PEST analysis research integrates issues from Statistics, Winter wheat, Septoria and Crop management. The Agricultural productivity study combines topics in areas such as Development economics and Earth system science.
