Rosamond Naylor is the Julie Wrigley senior fellow at CESP, the director of the Goldman Honors Program in Environmental Science, Technology, and Policy, the Director of the Program on Food Security and the Environment, and an associate professor of Economics, by courtesy.
Her research focuses on the environmental and equity dimensions of intensive food production. She has been involved in a number of field-level research projects throughout the world concerning issues of aquaculture production, high-input agricultural development, biotechnology, climate-induced yield variability, and food security.
At Stanford, she is on the faculty for the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Environment and Resources (IPER) and she teaches courses on the World Food Economy and Sustainable Agriculture. Naylor has served on the Oversight Committee for the McKnight Foundation's Collaborative Crop Research Program since 1997. Naylor was named Fellow in the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program in Environmental Sciences in 1999 and Pew Fellow in Conservation and the Environment in 1994.
She received her BA in Economics and Environmental Studies from the University of Colorado, her MS in Economics from the London School of Economics, and her PhD in applied economics from Stanford University.
