MANOJ SHARMA

I am a Ph.D. Candidate and Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Kansas State University. I am also serving as the Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences (NRES) Graduate fellow which is an interdisciplinary program at Kansas State University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of production, trade and the environment. My recent work focuses on the impacts of the EUDR on global soy trade and tropical deforestation, the relationship between market demand (domestic plus international) and land use changes, including deforestation, and how the land price mechanism transfers global land pressure, intermediated by international trade, to local land use decisions.
