The cost of human-wildlife conflict in agriculture
March 31, 2021
As part of his sabbatical last year, Master of Food and Resource Economics, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, professor Dr. Sumeet Gulati spent time abroad in order to better understand the realities faced by his research subjects, specifically farm managers in India who experience conflict with wildlife. In the process of further contextualizing his research, Dr. Gulati learned that inadequate measures to prevent damage from wildlife can be better explained by the role of poverty than the role of moral hazard arising from poorly designed programs.
