Tim Crews

Tim is at The Land Institute because  of our focused and far-reaching mission. Tim first visited The Land Institute in 1981 after reading New Roots for Agriculture as an undergraduate majoring in agroecology at the University of California-Santa Cruz. Over the next three decades, he pursued a doctorate degree at Cornell, carried out a post-doc fellowship at Stanford, and developed an agroecology program at Prescott College in Northern Arizona. In 2000, began to collaborate directly with The Land Institute and Tim joined the staff as director of research and an ecologist in 2011. Now as Chief Scientist and Director of the International Initiative, Tim leads work worldwide to mobilize and expand a global research network to transform agriculture, perennially.
