Biography
Dr. Richard E. Farrell, received his Ph.D in Soil Chemistry, from Iowa State University. Currently, he is working as Associate Professor, at University of Saskatchewan. His research interest includes The Strategic Research Program (Soil Biological Processes) takes an inter-disciplinary approach to applied and fundamental research focusing on biological aspects of the soil/water/plant continuum as they relate to nutrient supply and the efficient use of nutrients by plants in traditional (annual, forage) and alternative (organic, agroforestry) cropping systems to enhance or maintain agroecosystem capacity and integrity. This work contributes to strategies aimed at enhancing or maintaining agroecosystem capacity and integrity, enhancing the environmental and economic sustainability of soil resources.. He has authored several publications.
