King and Cochrane: The technological treadmill and racial inequity in US agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Between 1920 and 1969, the number of Black farmers in the US decreased from 14% of all operators to 4%. Using Martin Luther King Jr.'s critique of agricultural policy and Willard Cochrane's theory of the technological treadmill, we explore how racial discrimination was linked to policies that led to structural change in US agriculture.

A Guideline to Evaluate Sorbent Performance for Atmospheric Water Harvesting

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Reporting guidelines for atmospheric water harvesting sorbents allow benchmarking between research groups across seven key performance indicators (KPIs). Beyond simple equilibrium values (such as capacity or maximum water uptake), these KPIs validate sensitivity, reversibility, regeneration conditions, chemical stability, kinetics, and water quality ...

Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.
