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

His primary areas of study are Climate change, Agronomy, Agriculture, Yield and Crop yield. His Climate model study in the realm of Climate change interacts with subjects such as Investment. Crop, Cultivar, Anthesis and Sowing are the core of his Agronomy study.

His work deals with themes such as Global warming, Agroforestry and Growing season, which intersect with Crop. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Agriculture, focusing on Natural resource economics and, on occasion, Water resources. His study focuses on the intersection of Food systems and fields such as Malnutrition with connections in the field of Environmental resource management.

Between 2011 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change impacts on global food security (1203 citations)

  • Brief History of Agricultural Systems Modeling (196 citations)

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

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Yield, Crop yield, Agronomy, Climate change and Agriculture. His Yield study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Weather and climate, Crop and Growing season. His Crop research includes themes of Agroforestry and Sorghum.

His Agronomy study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Horticulture. His Climate change research incorporates elements of Natural resource economics and Food security, Food systems. The study incorporates disciplines such as Private sector, Management science and Systems simulation in addition to Agriculture.
