Kansas State Professor, Nathan Hendricks will be presenting on the expansion in cropland and how it can result in negative environmental impacts at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, in the Community Room.

Hendricks research program focuses on how to better understand economic incentives and how it affects the supply of agricultural products and the interaction between agricultural production, the environment and natural resources.

He often focuses within three areas: land use, water and agricultural policy. Some of this research has investigated agricultural supply dynamics, the cost effectiveness of alternative water conservation policies, the production affects of agricultural domestic support programs and econometric estimation of dynamic panels.
