Shadi Atallah

Dr. Atallah’s research program generates recommendations to growers, landowners, and resource managers to manage their crops and natural resources in a way that balances economic and ecological objectives and constraints. Examples include the economics of managing damaging organisms such as pests, diseases, and invasive species and beneficial organisms such as pollinators, within and across farms and forestlands. Shadi is an Associate Director of CEOS with Hope Michelson.

Watch Shadi's Mini-talk: Are consumers willing to pay for both local brewing and local hops? (2020)

Listen to Shadi on the CEOS podcast as he quantifies the spiritual value of the tiger to the Soligas Tribe in India and shows how that value can be harnessed as an economic tool for promoting sustainable wildlife conservation and preserving the ways of life of indigenous people.
