Agroecology is the primary focus of interest for Dr. Rickerl's research program. Projects include sustainable ecosystems: wetlands in agricultural landscapes; bison as part of Lakota culture; and indigenous food systems of the Aymarans in Bolivia. A multi-disciplinary approach is used to integrate economic, social, and environmental aspects.
