Kenneth A. Dahlberg

Professor Emeritus

Kenneth Dahlberg received his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado in 1966. He has been a Fulbright Fellow and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Many of his research interests are captured in the titles of the books he has written and edited: Beyond the Green Revolution: The Ecology and Politics of Global Agricultural Development; Environment and the Global Arena; Natural Resources and People: Conceptual Issues in Interdisciplinary Research; and New Directions for Agriculture and Agricultural Research. In addition to work on the human dimensions of global change and sustainable agriculture, he has also worked on policies to maintain genetic and biological diversity, including serving as Chair of the Advisory Panel for the Office of Technology Assessment's 1986 study on Technologies to Maintain Biological Diversity. In the past decade his research has focused on sustainable agriculture and regenerative food systems. Most recently, he has had grants to examine local food policy councils (NSF) and how to strengthen local food policy efforts (W.K. Kellogg Foundation). In political science, Dr. Dahlberg regularly taught seminars on Rural Development, and on Resources, Environment, and Technology, as well as a course on the United Nations. For the Environmental Studies Program, he taught Political Economy of the Environment and Appropriate Technologies and Sustainability.
