Perrin is interested in agricultural productivity – how to measure it, how it happens and who benefits from it. He also is interested in bio fuels and their impact on agriculture, the climate and the environment. He also studies the Great Plains’ potential to feed a burgeoning world population in a sustainable manner.

Bio

Richard Perrin has three main areas of research: productivity within agriculture and whom it benefits; how biofuels affect agriculture, climate and the environment; and the Ogallala Aquifer’s potential to sustainably feed the burgeoning world population. In 2017, Perrin and a team of professors were granted a $5 million grant to research the psychology of water use in agriculture. Perrin is a Jim Roberts Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
