Kevin Lombard, New Mexico State University, PI.
I am a Professor of Horticulture in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PES) and Research Director of the NMSU Agricultural Science Center at Farmington (ASCF). The NMSU ASCF is uniquely located on land leased from the Navajo Nation. I have expertise in phytochemistry of fruits and vegetables, environmental soil chemistry soil health assessments following the Gold King Mine Spill of 2015, and specialty crops and cropping systems research, including medicinal herbs, viticulture and greenhouse management. I have experience in qualitative and quantitative surveys and have established networks of small-scale and large-scale producers in the Four Corners Region. I enjoy vinyl and playing musical instruments.
