Today we are delighted to welcome Josh Farley. Josh is the Ecological Economics lead for Leadership for the Ecozoic, a professor in Community Development & Applied Economics, and a Fellow at the Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont.

Josh’s research interests span a wide range—including the economics of food, the democratization of monetary systems, the rethinking of ecosystem services, agroecology in Vermont and Brazil’s

Atlantic Forest, the evolution of cooperation, economics of information, and the commons. 

But Josh is more than an academic. He’s a community builder and mentor who brings people together through the way he lives. He often hosts spaces beyond the university, to garden, forage, fish, and cook together. Any meal with Josh and his family includes food from his garden or caught, hunted, or raised by people he knows.

The textbook that Josh wrote with Herman Daly is currently being updated for publication, see the 2nd edition here: https://islandpress.org/books/ecological-economics-second-edition#desc
