Matt Smith is the Research Program Lead for the USDA National Agroforestry Center. His current research explores the human dimensions of agroforestry and how economic, social, and environmental drivers impact adoption. A key component of this research is the National Agroforestry Producer Survey, which quantifies the reasons why producers use agroforestry by practice type and how they establish and manage their systems. His research portfolio also includes investigations into how silvopasture management effects key ecosystem services. This includes carbon storage and the potential to mitigate wildfire severity through fuels reduction.
